Location:

Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

A single fluorite cube with an edge length of nearly 8 cm. Water etching has replaced the original parquet-like surface structure with fine etch pits, giving it a delicate, silky luster. The crystal exhibits pronounced stepped edge growth. On one side, several light-colored calcite crystals have additionally grown. The transparency of the fluorite is excellent despite its intense color.
