A drusy, gemmy and sparkling, colorless quartz matrix is the host for several frosted, translucent, octahedrons of pastel, seafoam green fluorite, to 1.8 cm across. Under fluorescent light, some inclusions within the quartz are a neon green color but the fluorite is an INTENSE neon purple color! Longwave (purple fluorite, no orange) and Shortwave UV (green specks show inside quartz, no fluorite glow) shots are shown here.
