Item Description
A lovely miniature specimen of the classic, well known vivid blue-green octahedral Fluorite from the Berta Quarry. This material is not your typical Spanish Fluorite as the color and habit are not what one would expect since so many Spanish Fluorites (mostly from Asturias) are blue or purple and typically cubic in habit. For the size (the largest crystal is 1.1 cm), the color is really INTENSE, as you don't often see Fluorites this size with such a strong hue. Good quality overall, and hard to find on the market now. Don't miss out if you're a Fluorite collector!
