Fluorite

Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Bockhart Reservoir, Gastein Valley, Salzburg, Austria
Class: 
Crystals on Matrix
Size Range: 
Small cabinet (7-10 cm)
Size: 
7.8 × 6.4 × 3 cm
Description

The crystal is 26mm across. It has no room to grow, so it shows only the silhouette of the octahedron. But the color is like emerald, the very best saturation, the most exceptional color ever found in the whole region. This was a very small, old discovery, which produced only a fist full of specimen - should be high ranked for rarity.
