Description

This extraordinary piece comes from a newer find from the Bergmännisch Glück Mine (2020). The fluorite shows silky, shiny, slightly etched faces with a dark gray to silver color. With backlit, the fluorite shows bright amber yellow with light blue zones on the edges. The fluorite is healed and finely crystallized on the back. So the piece detached itself from the rock very early and had enough time to crystallize as a floater specimen
