Item Description
This matrix specimen is characterized by two distinct fluorite colorations meeting along a diagonal in the middle. The lower color zone is a 2 cm wide band of glassy and gemmy, pastel green crystals which reach 1.5 cm across. The upper/top generation is composed of glassy and gemmy dark green-gray crystals to 1.0 cm across. On this later occurrence are colorless crystals of calcite, to .2 cm across. Fascinating combo of colors, somewhat more obviously so in person.
