Description

A very aesthetic thumbnail! The crystal shows remarkable quality for the locality - color is much better as usual and also the faces are in remarkable quality - they are glossy and nearly all other material there is etched, discoveries and clefts with sharp terminated and glossy crystals from Göschener Alp are exceptional!And this fine crystal is even atractively set on matrix! This specimen is from a small find in summer 2017, this was the maximum size of fluorite crystals from this cleft. No significant damages to report.
