Description

This beautiful fluorite comes from an old find from the “Bergmännisch Glück Mine.” At first glance the fluorite seems a bit dark however the backlight shows its real beauty its true fire: a deep red amber/yellow core which is surrounded by yellow, blue, and violet zonings along the edges which cannot be seen almost not in the photos. On the fine square structured surface you can see small  chalcopyrite partly with intense iridescent colors. First and third photo with medium LED backlight.
