Item Description

What a stunning and unusual combination piece! Fluorite from this location is rare and this is a nice, sharp, cubic green crystal just under 2 cm on each side. As a combination, the juxtaposition is shocking! The aquamarine is perched on fluorite, and measures just under 4 cm tip to tip. Extra bonus - the fluorite fluoresces! The color is baby blue, almost opaque but translucent when backlit. You can clearly see the nice schorl tourmaline inclusions within as another bonus! Note that the color is a slightly more translucent and open blue in person, as it does not photo well.
