Description

Beautiful specimen with an undamaged fluorite to almost 1cm set on an adularia matrix.

The fluorite has a pink core being the outer edges of a light purple color, much more visible under the sunlight. The crystal form is quite interesting as is octahedral with cube and dodecahedral modifications.

The specimen is dusted with dozens of small black bright anatase and at the back there a couple of groups of brookite with some dispersed rutile.

An elegant fluorite!
