Description

Aggregate of cuboctahedral fluorite specimen of attractive green colour, from the Flußschacht Mine (Rottleberode), an extinct German locality. The main crystal measures a full 2.5 cm, and lustre is good and free of damages. These green-coloured pieces were always scarce and so highly sought-after by collectors.

It comes with three previous labels, two from the collection of W.Rössel (#96), who bought it in 01/1974.
