Etched Fluorite

WE 18-21, 2018

​

Location:

Summit Cleft, Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

I found this piece in 2008 during an excavation for fluorite in the large cavern. It was my first etched fluorite from the Summit Cleft. I liked the multifaceted, shiny surface and the delicate play of colors of green and blue so much that I started looking for these pieces. In all the years of searching, however, I could not find a similar piece. The piece is evenly etched all around. The transparency is excellent. A crystal structure is no longer recognizable.
