Fluorite On Quartz

Small cabinet (7-10 cm)

7 × 4.5 × 3.5 cm
Description

This specimen is out of an old collection and was mined in 70ties.

On one side the fluorite shows only light blue colour, but the specimen is developed as floater and at the other side the color is much more intense.

The tiny white quartz-crystals are partly coated with a red to brown layer, which helps to give a great visual impact and a fine contrast.

The faces of the fluorite are frosted.
