Description

This is a specimen out of a small collapsed cleft near Sport-Gastein, not from Hirschwald as the other Gastein-fluorite in the auction.

Under UV-light it became an intense lila colour. So far this is the only find of fluorite with UV-fluorescence in Gastein Valley.

This find produced only little quantity, only a fist full of pieces came out, so this is really a rarity.

Under daylight the octahedrons (up to 8mm across) show light green color.
