Etched Fluorite

WE 18-8, 2018

​

Location:

Summit Cleft, Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

The crystal surface of this piece is intensely etched and still shows traces of a second generation of small fluorites. Due to the influence of water, deep etching gaps have formed. This fluorite shows a  good gloss on the surfaces and very beautiful, intense etched structures on all sides. Viewed from the front, the piece shows a beautiful transparent light blue to purple color. Viewed from the side and illuminated with backlit, the fluorite shows an intense color zoning, in which the bright yellow zone, which many pieces have, is here almost completely missing. First, second, fifth and sixth photo with medium LED backlit. Third and seventh photo with lowest LED backlit.
