Comments:
This piece is very fun -- Not only does it glow astonishingly bright green under UV light, it also has maybe a dozen purple fluorite cubes hanging out inside!
The top is completely crystallized with botryoidal crystallization formations everywhere, looking like dripped wax.
I have flattened and polished the back for visibility, and also ground away little bits here and there around the edge of the piece to 'tease' it into a rectangular / dog tag type shape. I had to be really careful to grind the back and back edges more then the sides, because there is also a lot of great crystallization around the edge that I didnt want to ruin from the front-view.
All in all, this piece is incredibly aesthetic, and very rare for this size.
Ready for jewelry!
