Description

See a beautiful collection of crystals made from what is known as "rainbow fluorite". This goes back to the famous find from 2005 in the Bergmännisch-Glück mine in Frohnau near Annaberg in the Saxon ore region. The material shows a pretty rich color - especially when backlit.

This crystal group is very nicely shaped. The crystals show a silky sheen. This type of fluorite is very rare and in great demand among fluorite enthusiasts due to the quality of the color and the small amount available.

Very nice sample for the famous rainbow fluorite. Excellent coloration from green to blue based on the green and very transparent crystal core - with partly red colored crystal surfaces (hematite inclusions) as a nice contrast.
