Description

At the end of the Alpine cleft of pink fluorite that Is NOT Swiss or French but a much rarer Italian Piedmont piece! With magnification this is especially striking, the octahedrons are glassy, sharp and show complexities, they are sets in vug lined with spikey clinozoisites and glassy rhomb form adularia. All with a sprinkle of bright green clinoclore (amesite?). Very rare to see any of These for sale this is an especially nice older specimen of pre 1960 vintage. Also accompanied by a titanite.
