A matrix-free cluster of translucent, bright green fluorite from the Orange River on the South Africa side. This specimen features large octahedral crystals, one of them 7 cm tip-to-tip. The faces have hundreds of tiny triangular sub-faces all over them, which give the surfaces a sparkly, sugary look.
