Description

This is one of our real treasures we are offering in this auction. An enormous, 11.5 cm big fluorite cube with bevelled edges. The colour, even in sunlight and also with backlit is an amazing ocean-blue. In artificial light it changes a bit to blue-greyish. The whole surface of the specimen features a "cubic multifacing" and is a little mat. A real fantastic major specimen from the great old finds in the 1980ies. Nowadays finds like that are mostly impossible.
