A skeletal, strong etched floater of fluorite. Fluorite was very rare from the locality, only during the last 3 years a little more quantity was found. This little jewel is exceptional - so far I never saw such intense colors and so many different steps and tones of color on one piece. There is intense blue-green, blue and lavender tones. Can be shown in various psoitions, no significant damages to report.
