A large and EXTRAORDINARY fluorite specimen for sheer pizzazz. What you are looking at are wildly modified octahedrons like cancerous growths, with myriad micro-faces, in two generations: an earlier generation of light green, and a later generation (as the solution in the pocket changed) of a beautiful lavender. You are seeing through the translucent lavender layer to the green fluorite beneath. The lavender fluorite is piled up in two knobs at the top of the specimen, contrasting against the greener part below. Dazzling! We have all seen a lot of fluorite from China but this one is very different in appearance 13 x 8.5 x 6.5 cm
