Description

Aragonite var Flos Ferri from this locality isnprobably the most prominent Austrian classic. But usually they are white - even specimen with just a touch of blue are a great rarity - one like this with intense blue-green saturaion are absolutely exceptional and very hard to obtain - and really expensive! Please note that the color is NOT a result of any light effects or backlight; the photos show the piece just under daylight and in person the color is even more attractive. No significant damages to report.
