This piece comes from the front area of the cavity. It was stuck in a crevice at the bottom and the surface of the fluorite is intensely etched by the water and also shows a few deep etched crevices. The parquetted surface structure is only partially recognizable due to the water etching. The fluorite cube measures 8.5 cm in diameter. In transmitted light, the fluorite shows an intense green color with hints of purple in one area.
