Item Description
A striking and unusual, color-zoned fluorite specimen from the late 1990s find at this famous locale. The octahedrons are very unusually frosted and etched, with dramatic effect. Even more striking, is the gorgeous color-zoning. The octos all look sea-green under plain light, but with bright light or backlit, the crystals, especially the large octo, glow with this gorgeous cornflower-blue color zoning! Super purple fluorescence, too. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
