Description

What a spectacular fluorite! This material was discovered in the 80ties - this intense blue color never came twice since decades. Next to the vitriol blue color you can see dark violet zonings. The crystals are attractively set on small matrix. A well balanced aesthetic specimen! Please note that there is no damage at the upper corner to the right hand side - this is a sharp terminated natural modification. All faces are very glossy! Photos were done with minor backlight. No significant damages to report.
