You can tell that this specimen is from older finds at Okorusu Mine. These older Okarusu fluorites have beautiful combinations of purple, green and teal-blue. This one is dominated by teal and green, and is lighter in color. The complete crystal in the center measures 2 cm along the edge; the other crystals are cleaved from removal from matrix. These older Okorusu pieces are typically (as this one) a lot more transparent than most of the newer material.
