Description

The crystals are 2.3 and 1.8cm on edges. The crystals feature best quality, the colour is incredible and probably the best yellow in space of fluorite. All faces are highly lustrouse, the edges are razor sharp. A sharp blue phantom on the smaller intergrown crystal, as seen on detail shot. The mine is non-productive and it is on an army-area, so impossible to dig there. the specimen is out of a collection of a local miner.
