One of the most uncommon specimen from Lake Rieding: usually fluorite from this locality shows different shades of green, this one is blue - absolutely remarkable for Lake Rieding! An other point is the good, satiny luster. Most of this material is etched. The crystals are also very big for the locality, usually it is hard to find a crystal larger than 2cm. The backside is rehealed, only a small area at the bottom was on the rock. No significent damages to report.
