Description

This beautiful fluorite comes from an old find from the “Bergmännisch Glück Mine.” At first glance the fluorite seems a bit dark however the backliting shows its real beauty its true fire: an amber/yellow core which is surrounded by yellow and violet zonings along the edges. The colorful zonings can also been seen with daylight as backlit. There are some small chalkopyrites on the fine square structured surface. First and third photo with medium LED light as backlit. The amazing colorful zonings are really hard to catch on a photo!
