Description

This is a fine and relatively contrastful specimen of "Rosafluorit" (rose Fluorite), the most desired species of the Swiss alps, richly set on white, sharp Adularia. Most of the octahedral crystals, especially in the center, are intact, sharp and lustrous. Pink Fluorite from the Swiss Alps has been a treasured classic for 100 years now. This is a beautiful small cabinet sized specimen with a large number of translucent, pink octahedra perched delicately on adularia matrix.
