AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Watch a video of this specimen by following the Vimeo link below: https://vimeo.com/1139863778/91faef0db2

This is a beautiful emerald green fluorite specimen displaying sharp, glassy cubododecahedrons with stunning sector zoning: a dark green (almost black) cross pattern adorns every cube!
This type of zoning is sometimes called 'Alien Eye' when it culminates to form merged dark corners enclosing the green core, shaping an 'alien' face inside the crystal.

Note how the gem emerald green fluorite crystals stand here on highly etched feldspar crystals.

A fine international classic!
