Item Description
This striking piece features a solid pedestal of fluorite with a single larger, 3.2 cm, cuboctahedral crystal atop, nicely decorated with a sugary coating of quartz on one side, and fat milky crystals on the other, with the green fluorite popping up in between! The lustrous and translucent fluorite has incredibly dense stepped-growth faces. The color is bottle-green in normal light, but it glows with bright apple-green color, when backlit. Unusual and MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
