Description

A very special specimen from the famous Summit Cleft. The color is dark, but with backlit shows an amazing violet color in several different nuances. The special thing about this fluorite is that the fluorite with backlit always changes its color when you move it. In one perspective it is purple; in another perspective, blue and green dominate; while in a further perspective the fluorite shows its rainbow-like colors. The rare light blue zonation in the outer area of the fluorite is also visible in this position. The first and fourth photos give an idea of what I'm talking about. This is unique and there are few pieces that show it so beautifully, combined with the good crystallization on the front side. It is perfect, undamaged and of the highest quality (All sides are crystallized, etched or healed - no fresh fractures). First, second, fourth, and fifth photo with lower LED light as backlit, much better in person
