Collectible Minerals Appraisal

Rough Green Mineral Specimen (likely Fluorite)

The item appears to be a rough sample of a green mineral, likely raw fluorite. It is irregularly shaped, characteristic of a natural, unpolished specimen. The color is a light to medium green, with some areas appearing more translucent and others more opaque and milky. There are visible inclusions and internal fractures, presenting as lighter, almost white, crystalline structures within the green matrix. The texture appears rough and uneven, with sharp edges and facets that are typical of a cleaved or broken mineral piece. There are no discernible manufacturing marks, signatures, or stamps, consistent with a natural geological specimen. The surface shows some minor surface wear and possibly some dust or debris in the crevices, but no significant signs of damage or repair are immediately apparent from the image. The quality is that of a standard mineral sample, suitable for collection or geological study rather than a polished gem or ornamental piece. The approximate size is difficult to determine without a reference, but it appears to be relatively small, likely a tumbled stone or a small sample intended for educational purposes. Its age is geological, not attributable to a specific historical or artistic period. The overall appearance suggests a natural, unaltered piece of the identified mineral.
