Description

Breathtaking colorful, sharp terminated fluorite crystal with high glossy faces. The inner play of color this piece is fascinating. By lighting with backlit, the piece shows its true fire: The fluorite crystals display green centers, and bright violet zonings at the corners. On the fluorite are partially grown small bright calcites with highest quality. The fluorite stands in the displayed position without support - the bottom was on the rock. Hard to catch on a photo. All photos with medium LED backlit. A very remarkable piece!
