Beautiful, classic large group of gemmy “stair stepped” or “Aztec pyramid” style pale lime-green fluorite crystals from the Gibralter mine, Naica, Chihuahua State, Mexico. Great example of a true Mexican mineral classic from 1980’s-era finds. These have become hard to come by especially in large umdamaged examples. Mark Cross photo.
