This find caused a big stir when it turned up about a year ago, but the specimens disappeared quickly and no more have been seen since. It it truly unique even from China, from where fluorite specimens flow quite regularly. Here you have wonderfully transparent, bright green (MUCH PRETTIER AND BRIGHTER GREEN THAN In THE PICS!) octahedrons of fluorite that have formed on an earlier generation of darker fluorite. The octahedrons measure up to 4 cm across. Really MUCH nicer in person - guaranteed! 8.2 x 7.8 x 5.4cm
