Description

This great fluorite comes from the Hameda Fluorite Mine. The piece is well formed with a large main crystal. The cube measures considerable 6.5 cm at the edges. The faces are semi-glossy with a square structure. The fluorite is translucent green in its center - an orange yellow zonation at the edges measures about 5 mm. A very aesthetic piece – there is a chip on one edge, but that does not affect its beauty.
