Item Description
Sky blue, lustrous and translucent, terminations above light amber colored cores, highlight this fluorite specimen with crystals to 8 cm across. The vuggy areas in the amber fluorite cores are from calcite crystals that were present at one time. The result is this weird "mushroom" growth. Although the piece has some edge wear from being handled over many years, it still is a colorful piece that displays dramatically and has some value as a decorative fluorite. valued $200-300
