Description

Many people know the fluorite from the famous Summit Cleft of Weisseck. However, this specimen is very rare: partially dissolved Fluorite (You can read the exact report on our website).

Fluorite with great color and zoning. The fluorite comes from a small pocket in the 3rd cavern. Skeletonized fluorite with solute surfaces, intense zoning (green, cyan, blue and even intense violet, nearly. All sides are crystallized, skeletonized or healed (no fresh fractures). It is a great experience to look at this specimen with backlit from daylight or LED spots! First and second, fourth, and fifth photo with lower LED light as backlit, much better in person!
