Item Description

Fluorite specimens from the famous and extinct Manhattan District are very rare. This impressive, large and sculptural specimen has a large vug richly lined with glassy, bi-colored, fluorite octahedrons. The octos have pretty seafoam-green centers with colorless outer zones. The crystals have very intense stepped-growth faces. There is more fluorite on the back, as a bonus. Old-time material from a museum collection, where it was on display. The numbers match. Bright purple fluorescence.
