Around 2004-2005, a friend of mine collected a large quantity of these beautiful green fluorites from a small new prospect in the well-known Grant County area of New Mexico. Most fluorite from this region is purple or mixed shades of purple and green, intermixed. I had never seen specimens of this pure green hue, much less large ones, from here. This piece, at over 2 kilograms, was one of the best and largest examples he brought out at the time. It is a beautiful piece, with good 3-dimensional coverage all over the matrix, and it sits naturally upright on its own.
