Description

I love this style of Clara-Fluorite although the specimen is not perfect. The slightly amber coloured cubes are well developed, sharp edged and lustrous. They are transparent as well and a bit isolated. They are contrastful perched on glistening Quartz. This is the old style of Fluorite specimens from this great mine in Black Forest and comes very probably from the 4. level,- thus from the 1950s.
