Description

Fluorite from Obernberg are really a great rarity! And this one is very good for the locality. Two generations are present, which is most appreciated for Obernberg. The habit is a combinatio of cube and rhomb. The first (larger) generation is light lavender, second generation is colorless. The crystals are very exposed, and as special addition there are tiny crystals of barite in front of the fluorite. Not only rare, also fine asethetic and special combination with barite. Should be high ranked as great rarity in fine quality. No significant damages to report.
