Item Description

Grant County Fluorites are known for their fine, and often distinctive, octahedral form. This excellent example features octahedrons up to 2.8 cm on edge that are color-zoned, with mint green cores jacketed by forest-green Fluorite. Some of the faces are scalloped, which is another very distinctive characteristic of Grant County. On top of that, the Fluorite has a rich blue fluorescence. For form, color, and size, this is one of the better Fluorites from Grant County that I have seen. Valued $450
