Item Description
This is a massive, large, pastel green fluorite crystal that is translucent throughout, and sharply terminates in a stairstep termination atop. It is covered on the back, and perched on, a base of hedgehog-like, spiky quartz points. This is a beast for the mine - a really BIG crystal of high value and importance. It is pastel green, evenly colored throughout, and frankly it is in astonishing condition - undamaged and complete 360-degrees, except only the bottom edge. Interestingly, when you look underneath, you can see a core of pink fluorite at its base. A major specimen, 1600 grams, valued $2000. 1600 grams....HEFTY!
