Blue Fluorite on Quartz

WE 17-8, 2017

​

Location:

Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

Several fluorite cubes, up to 2.8 cm in edge length, have grown on a thin, whitish quartz slab. The surface quality of the fluorites is outstanding: they display a beautiful luster and a subtle cubic pattern, distinguishing them from most other fluorites from this locality. The excellent surface quality is due to their position, protected by water and embedded in clay. The transparency is exceptional, and the color is very intense.
