Description
A great combination of aesthetics and rare locality since fluorite is quite uncommon from Utah. This lovely specimen features modified cuboctahedrons of fluorite in a unique light teal color that is almost entirely coated in a layer of fine druzy quartz that gives the piece a frosted look and subtle sparkle. Under long wave UV light, the fluorite fluoresces a bright, vibrant blue.
