Description

This extraordinary piece comes from a new find from the Bergmännisch Glück Mine (2020). The fluorite catches the eye with its intense golden chalcopyrite. The fluorite - on which the chalcopyrites are - shows silky, shiny, slightly etched faces with a dark violet-red color. With backlit, the fluorite shows an amber center and purple zoning at the edges. The fluorite is healed and finely crystallized on the back.
