Comment: At 1267 grams, this is a huge, nearly pristine, intensely green cluster of the new octohedral fluorites from this site. The color on this one is top class, really much more intense than the norm. The piece is almost pristine, with just a few small breaks of little display significance. It sits nicely on its own, and "glows" in a case.
