Amazing specimen of amber-yellow fluorite crystals up to 2.4 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 are intergrown chal-copyrites inside of the fluorites too. The surfaces are highly lustrous and display a fine square texture. The location “Bergmännisch Glück” is famous for special kinds of fluorites. Second, fourth, fifth and eight photo with lower LED light as backlit. Really a charming piece!
