Fluorite

This is a massive fluorite plate from Naica. It is solid fluorite, completely made up of bright and transparent crystals to 3.5 cm. In person, it's actually more 3-dimensional than flat, aided in the appearance by the superb beveled crystals popping out at you like bug eyes. In person, this has an overall pleasing green color although some of the larger crystals are more pale than the core. It is an impressive specimen for the locality, but the complex crystal forms present make it really impressive by worldwide standards too, for sheer number of faces on one plate here.
