Description

This is a specimen from a small, old discovery - a very unique specimen with amazing colors. The fluorite crystal consists of uncountable, lustrous micro-faces, it shows excellent translucency and it is rich of colors: there are steps of green, a yellow core and along one side it is intense ink-blue, even minor violet zonings are present. The crystal is resting on a well shaped, light crystal of feldspat. On one side (roateted to the left hand side) there is a small contacted area (where the crystal collided with feldspat), but no significant damages at all.
