A single, well-formed green fluorite crystal showing a clear octahedral habit, accented by a concentrated cluster of pyrite on the base. The fluorite has a rich, even color with glowing translucency, giving it that unmistakable internal luminance when light passes through.

The crystal faces show a mix of smooth, gemmy areas and light natural frosting. The octahedral shape is well-defined and has hydrothermal etchings.

On the reverse, a dense cluster of bright, finely crystallized pyrite provides contrast and anchors the specimen. The metallic luster catches the light nicely and makes it very sparkly!
