Item Description

A dramatic and distinctively different large two-sided specimen from this famous mine. The front is composed of strikingly glassy and densely stepped-growth pretty green fluorite octahedrons. The octos are preferentially coated with glassy calcite rhombs, that look like ice covering a forest of treees! The fluorites on the back are totally covered with the gemmy, colorless calcite rhombs. The ding at the top of the piece is mostly out-of-sight in the two fine display views. Bright purple and pink fluorescence. What an impressive difference, front to back! Choice and excellent large combination material from the Sanbria Collection.
