Comment: A HUGE, sculptural, LARGE CABINET fluorite specimen from recent finds in Chenzhou Prefecture, China. This monster looks like a green jet fighter with a tail fin. Very glassy, transparent to translucent, sea-green fluorite cubes to 3.5 cm make up the piece. The cubes have stepped corners and some the crystals are lightly frosted. The backlit photo of the "tail fin" highlights the gorgeous green color saturation and crystal translucency. Very little damage, for such a huge piece, except for the periphery contacting.
