This is an old found from the 80s from the slopes below the “Stampfl” glacier (2700 meter above sea level). The locality is exhausted, there will be no more founds. Very rare color from this location, the usual color is green. It should be highly ranked for its rarity. No visible damage to report; the backside was extracted from the rock. The specimen stands without any support. A superb alpine fluorite!
