Item Description
A structurally perfect thumbnail specimen featuring a stunning 2.1 x 2.0 x 2.0 cm sharp light minty-green crystal of fluorite, perfectly accented and changed by the coating of sugary white quartz atop. Such perfect, geometric shapes are simply hard to come by, and usually the quartz coating in this material is damaged, ugly, or dissolved off in brutal acid treatment. The look is completely unique - it looks like a sugary, sparkling golf ball! As a bonus, it is fluorescent. From: Marshall Sussman. Jeff Scovil photo, and published in Mineralogical Record, Refined Elegance: The Small Treasures of Mineralogy, November 2022.
