Blue Fluorite

WE 17-2, 2017

Location:

Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

Three prominent, three-dimensional main crystals sit on a thin quartz slab, accompanied at the lower section by several smaller fluorites. The central main crystal reaches an edge length of up to 5 cm and is partially covered with small, light-colored calcite crystals. The transparency is excellent, and the surfaces display fine etched pits with a delicate, silky luster due to water etching. The specimen is a floater – the reverse side is also covered with calcite crystals.
