This lovely pale lime green cubo-octahedral Fluorite crystal is from Nagar in the Gilgit District, Pakistan. It partly encapsulates ribs of finely crystallized Quartz and some tiny sugary Quartz crystals coat some of the surfaces somewhat detracting from the overall fine form of the main Fluorite crystal which reaches 4 cm across. The pyramidal faces on the Fluorite have slightly crazed stepped surfaces giving the crystal a somewhat gelatinous appearance to its lustre. A nice miniature Fluorite from Pakistan. Ex Arvid Pasto collection.
