Item Description

A gorgeous mint-green interior color glows inside this impressive large bi-colored Fluorite "Spinel twin" from the famous Naica Mine. The very glassy, transparent crystal has very nifty water-clear faces with alternating "frosted" faces to create a beautiful mixed texture effect. Complete all-around and pristine, this striking crystal measures 6.2 cm across and rests on a bit of silvery-grey Galena and drusy Quartz matrix. Classic and desirable older material from the 1970s. There is a good purple fluorescence under UV light. Valued at $1,500.
