Description

What an interesting, fine specimen of fluorite. It is a very well crystallized fluorite covered by a thin layer of chlorite. So the cluster is is dark on the first view. But with just a little bit of light, only a little, the pink color of the fluorite becomes visible! That is an amazing effect and very surprising. Also, the faces are high lustrous, you would never imagine this – it’s a fluorite full of surprises.
