Item Description
Glassy, lustrous, two-toned, cuboctahedral, fluorite crystals are jauntily set on sphalerite and pyrite matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at Naica. The fluorite crystals are pretty, mint-green and colorless. A bit of periphery wear is noted to the fluorites, but is barely noticeable on these super-glassy crystals. Highly repesentative material from this famous locale.
