Fluorite

WE 3-78

Location:

Summit Cleft, Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

This piece is not that large compared to the other fluorites in this report, but it was also found in the third cavern during this time. The fluorite shows bright green, blue and violet hues with backlight. The bright colors are due to the relatively thin thickness of the fluorite. The piece had separated from the matrix early on and healed on the back. The surfaces of the cubes show an intense square structure and a multi-stepped edge growth with a diameter of up to 7 cm.
