This is a water clear, TRANSPARENT, lustrous, light emerald green crystal of spinel twin fluorite so shockingly sharp and clean that I would never have gussed it to be Pakistani at first. It is of the likes of which I have not seen before in so many ways from ANY locality. The twins from this place tend to be etched and worn, and nowhere near as bright as this one. But here you have it - bright, and with glassy faces to boot. There are a couple of minor edge "wilbers" which do not detract from the symmetry and beauty of the piece and are trivial in context. I would really rank this cute miniature, for show value and pizzazz , right up there along with far more expensive fluorites from this part of the world in terms of sheer interest and desirability! MUCH BETTER in person! 4.9 x 3 x 1.8 cm
