Look at how the green octahedral fluorites tucked in the nook of this quartz cluster just GLOW like gems! They are not the dull green color of many Chinese fluorites, but the particular minty bright color peculiar to the Daye Mine. The quartz crystal itself has a very sharp phantom inside of it, its faces outlined clearly by tiny blooms of chlorite which were deposited on its surface before growth continued and engulfed it.
