Item Description
A showy cluster of totally gemmy, bi-colored, light sea-green and colorless, cuboctahedral fluorite crystals is smartly perched atop galena and fluorite matrix. The crowning crystal is 1.7 cm and is niftily included with a few pyrite crystals. The cuboctahedral crystal corners and edges are lightly frosted. From the older finds at Naica. The two primary capping crystals are pristine. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. Highly representative of the species and find.
