Description

The fluorites from this locality are truly remarkable, and this specimen is a perfect example. Violet fluorite octahedrons rest on a roughly 1.5 cm thick radial quartz crust. The fluorites feature a bright outer layer with a darker violet zoning in the center. What makes this piece even more unique is the accumulation of shapeless white aragonite on the octahedrons. A rare specimen that is difficult to find on the market.
