Description

A specimen from a small discovery in the North slope of the mountain near to peak elevation (2711m). Usually all fluorites from the locality are etched, so this one is really exceptional because all faces of the sharp terminated crystals are very glossy. They show fine translucency and steel blue color. Minor matrix backside, formed like stairs and very aesthetic. No significant damages to report.
