A large and spectacular Okarusu fluorite, featuring a HUGE crystal 7 cm in either direction, one of the most astounding I have ever seen from this locality! What makes it special is not only the size, but the amazing stepped corner modifications, with a blush of purple color, accenting the gemmy green interior. The specimen was shot in strong light to bring this out better. The smaller (though still large!) crystals surrounding the monster also show this stepped growth and the same color zoning. WOW! 15.2 x 13.0 x 8.5cm
