Isolated hemispheres of green Fluorite on a white Calcite matrix. The Hemispherical mounds of Fluorite reach 3cm in diameter and while having an overall rounded form, show cubic faces upon close inspection. The Fluorite are undamaged, translucent, with a saurated medium green color. This mine is known for large, purple globular Fluorite and these green Fluorite specimens were rare, possibly from a single find, and this is the nicest one of this style I've seen. Aesthetic and unusual old specimen from the Paul Geffner collection.
