Glassy cubes of light green Fluorite from the Lavrion mining district in Greece. The Fluorite cubes are lustrous and highly transparent, the largest 1cm on the diagonal. The Russia Mine is one of several small adits in the Sounion area named after the fact that many of the miners initially were from Russia. Some Fluorite are known for bright colors - this one is best for high luster, transparency, brightness, and a neat locality.
