Item Description

A single, perfect, totally transparent, seafoam green Fluorite crystal sits on a plate of granular massive Fluorite from the classic and famous fluorite mines of this district, first showing to us as exports to the west in the 1990s (and this is one of those older specimens). This specimen features an intricate, sharp Fluorite crystal to nearly one inch on edge and is accompanied by a 7 mm cube and numerous, much smaller, but just as transparent, Fluorites in almost a druse on the top surface that has a contrasting, pale peach colored clay coating underneath. This lustrous, gemmy Fluorite is so transparent that you can easily see the matrix through it. Pristine and transparent, the Fluorite is well-centered and presented nicely on the piece like a TV set. Dramatic! From the noted European and worldwide collection of Kurt Hefendehl
