Description

A perfect specimen of amber-yellow fluorite crystals up to 2.5 cm! The sharp terminated crystals are showing purple to blue zonings. As seen in the picture, there are some golden chalcopyrite crystals grown on the fluorites, which make this piece even more attractive. And there is intergrown chalcopyrite inside of the fluorite too. The surfaces are highly lustrous and display a fine square texture. The location “Bergmännisch Glück” is famous for special kinds of fluorites. First, second, fourth, and fifth photo with lower LED light as backlit. Really a charming piece!

You also get the report about the fluorite from the Erzgebirge from our website with the photo of the piece on the first page.
