A terrific piece containing the dominant cubic and octahedral crystal forms of fluorite in crystals starkly adjacent to one another! The cubes are translucent, medium green crystals with both sharp corners and modified corners, but the piece is made by a superb 2.4 cm octahedron coated with contrasting stark white calcite. A must for serious fluorite collectors!
