Item Description
An impressive and sculptural large crust with a striking hole of gemmy, lustrous, beautiful green fluorite octahedrons to 4.0 cm. This imposing plate is essentially pristine. Some etching on the front and more on the back is noted, but there is really no damage, per se. The protruding 2.8 cm octo on the left edge has trivial termination bruising. The color is INTENSE, deep green, very nice! MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! SOMEDAY, we will look back on these the way we do now for Illinois fluorites of 10-20 years ago even, and wonder why they were so darned cheap, mark my words.
