Description

Great austrian fluorite floater from the Weisseck area. This one was found at the ice-cleft and shows sparkling faces with a real good gloss all over. Usual the fluorites from this area have frosted and mat faces. More and more hard to find quality ike this, also because the mining is extremely dangerous and also prohibited. Even field collecting is not allowed. Only a few locals have the permission to collect there.
