Item Description
Some of the most classic fluorites for all of the U.S. came from the historic Sunnyside mine in southwestern Colorado. This is an excellent example of a sharp, transparent, pastel-green octahedron with modified cubic corners and a nifty purple edge phantom and corners. The crystal faces are lightly frosted and etched. This is a very fine green Sunnyside fluorite octahedron with two fine display views. Faint purple fluorescence. Very seldom available in this quality. Valued $250-300.
