Description

It was only one discovery that produce this amazing fluorite. The fluorite vein goes down in the underground and it would need decades of errosion or industrial mining to follow the fluorite vein - so all material from this locality is from only one exceptional find! The fluorite crystals show an vibrant, strong blue-green color, which looks much more impressive in person. A very attractive piece - this color was the very best of this small discovery and pieces in this color are the most rare ones - also the assemble is very eye-catching - this is for sure a very good specimen!
