Description

From recent finds (November 2016) at this famous fluorite-locality. The crystal shows a crazy good color, not less attractive and not less intense than we know from Hilton mine or Illinois. The faces are highly lustrous and as you can see on the first photo in the gallery there is even a sharp zoning inside the crystal. Backside was on the rock.
