Beautifully transparent, light green fluorite with interesting stepped growth on the faces. The large flat face allows one to gaze inside and see that this specimen is nearly 100% faceting rough (although that would be an ignominious fate for such an icy fluorite). Minor, microcrystalline quartz adds some sparkle. Purple fluorescence under longwave UV.One small cleave or contact, otherwise complete all around. This fine specimen displays quite nicely.
