Fluorite

Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Le Burg Mine, Alban-Le Fraysse, Tarn, Occitanie, France
Class: 
Crystals on Matrix
Size Range: 
Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
5.7 × 5.5 × 5.1 cm
Description

An isolated, sharp developed crystal set on light matrix. The main crystal at the top is 21mm on edges. I show the specimen on dark background with minor backlight and on light background under daylight. The sharp zoning is well visible under both conditions. Material from France is always hard to obtain, and this one is also uncommon with this intense color and zoning. No significant damages to report.
