You are onto something there. That is quite beautiful.
When I see green and purple together I always think fluorite. Can you scratch it with a pocket knife?

Flourite has four sided pyramids, quartz has six sided pyramids. See the purple square in the first image?
Just food for thought. It is kinda important to know because fluorite will undercut badly if you treat it like quartz.

Great looking geode. But I agree that looks like fluorite.
