Description

A piece from the new Rucksack Cleft: The fluorite shows inwardly curved bowl-shaped matt shiny faces with an intense square texture. Due to the bowl shape, the faces always shine when you move the fluorite. The fluorite is colorless on the outside and shows an intense violet zone on the inside, which shows its amazing color with the backlit. Great piece - first and third photo with medium LED backlit. You can read the report about this find on my homepage.
