Description:

One of my three favorite pieces from this find - perhaps the piece with the most beautiful play of colors! The piece shows excellent three-dimensional crystal growth with two dominant fluorite cube in the upper area. The piece is undamaged and shows great transparency with intense colors and an edge length of up to 4.3 cm. With a slightly concave shape, the crystal surfaces show a fine parqueted structure with a silky shine due to water etching. With backlight shows an excellent tipping effect with intense colors from red-violet, blue and cyan to green. This piece is published in The Mineralogical Record - Mineral Magazine Vol.54 No.6.2.
