Description

Exceptional specimen from a worldwide singular locality. Nowhere else you'll find fluorite crystals grown on Jurassic (Bajocien - 170 million years old) fossil coral stock. The crystals are honey-colored to orange-brown and well-developed. The specimen has a few dings but is still very attractive. It's very hard to find a fluorite specimen from this locality and they are amongst the rarest in Europe.
