Item Description
Fabulous, gem, emerald-green, penetration-twinned fluorite crystals are aesthetically scattered on the large galena plate. ALL of these twins, to 2.5 cm, have absolutely first-rate clarity, which is very uncommon for Rogerley specimens. A few of the twins have trivial edge wear and periphery wear is noted on the lower right. The crystals all glow with bright fluorescence under any light! This, for sheer gemminess and transparency of the crystals, is stunning. Overall, a superb, rich and large example of the species and well-known locale. Fairly valued at $1500-1800
