Rolling hills of glassy and gemmy, sparkling, colorless drusy quartz are the matrix for frosted, translucent, pastel seafoam green octahedrons of fluorite, to 1.2 cm in length. The color, luster and texture differences, seriously enhance this specimen. Some parts of the quartz fluoresce a bright green but the fluorite crystals fluoresce an INTENSE neon purple
