The Truffle Pig Pocket has proven to be a source of some of the most magnificent Fluorites ever unearthed in this mine, distinguished by their impressive size, vibrant color, and gem-like qualities.
Crystals, some reaching an edge length of 14 cm, have been successfully extracted, although the average size falls within the range of 3 to 7 cm. These crystals boast a consistent, intensely rich, gem-like chromium-green hue that transitions to more translucent centers. Each crystal is characterized by razor-sharp edges, gem-like faces, and crackled chromium centers, with bright purple fluorescence observable at the edges and corners in daylight.
The faces of these Fluorites typically feature flat reflective borders adjacent to their edges, while the cubically-stepped face centers exhibit a rougher texture. When subjected to long-wave ultraviolet light (LWUV), the Fluorites fluoresce in a brilliant lavender-white, adding another dimension to their visual allure.
Shown with backlighting and in daylight.
