Description

A very attractive and for the locality very typical specimen with a very rich coverage of cubic fluorite crystals beveled by the faces of the dodecahedron. The fluorite crystals, up to 1.3 cm, are transparent with a violet colour, some of the crystals are showing a lighter or clearer colour on the faces of the cubes and a more intense color in the faces of the rombododecahedron. An excellent piece, from my own collection.
