Item Description
A classic, old-time and fine German combination specimen. Three, glassy, colorless, cubic fluorite crystals to 1.2 cm are nicely placed among the lustrous, sharp, flattened, olive-brown siderite rhombs on the matrix of massive siderite. Some fluorite crystal faces are water-clear and you can see right into the depths of the crystals, while others show internal crazing. This historic piece hails from the famous Harz Mountains. Probably around 100 years old or more. Excellent purple fluorescence. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
