Item Description
Pretty, apple-green, fluorite octahedrons richly cover the granodiorite matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from a very famous and ancient Spanish silver-lead-zinc-iron mine. These came out in the 1980s. The sharp octos reach 1.0 cm and are gemmy and lustrous. Excellent, highly representative material from this locale, with only a bit of periphery wear. Super purple fluorescence. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
