The finest of the lot so far, this specimen features not only an unusually bright green color, but BIG crystals, the uppermost one measuring 3.5 cm along the front edge! The crystals, including the largest one, appear to be phantomed, with the grassy green color inside a layer of about 0.75 cm of lighter green. So, they glow from within! This would be a fine fluorite from ANY locality, but from a new and thus far very limited find, it is a particularly exciting and desirable specimen! It is a total aberration and has a color and luster better than any other in the lots. We couldn't believe it, but there it is - too bad there wasn't a whole pocket of this type! 11.5 x 7.8 x 3.6 cm
