Location:

Ice Cleft, Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

This fluorite is the best example to show how quickly the fluorites in the Ice Cleft have changed: the underlying layer of fluorite shows highly-shiny purple fluorites with an edge length of up to 1.5 cm. Directly above, there is a layer of highly-shiny blue-green fluorites with an edge length of up to 2 cm. This piece comes from the lower area from the large rear cavern in the Ice Cleft - about 18 meters from the entrance. It was found in July 2014.
