Description

A very beautiful Clara fluorite specimen with transparent, colorless crystals which appear slightly pinkish-brown because of the brown and black background. Very nice contrast because of the goethite-covered quartz and platy baryte crystals. Only minor dings, which don't disturb the attractivity of the specimen very much.
