Description

A very good specimen from a single find in a historic mining area. The fluorite is a very nice stepped with a greenish color and a yellow layer below.

Between the two layers are some crystals of pyrite you can see through the upper layer, which is quite clear!

Very small parts of the surface are covered by a red iron mineral that gives a very nice contrast. The specimen is undamaged but it had contact to the rock.
