Description:

A unique piece from the Ice Cleft found about 7 meters from the entrance in August 2012. The fluorite shows a very transparent ice-blue color. The surfaces are high-gloss with a multiple square texture. On one side, the fluorite shows dark phantom-like zoning along the edges. In addition, a strong skeletal-like edge growth can be noted in this area! This piece was published in The Mineralogical Record, Eureka Supplement, May-June 2022.
