WE 24-39, July, 2022

​

Location:

Knappenloch, Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

This piece is a feast for the eyes: despite its intense colors, this fluorite is very transparent - almost glassy. The crystals show a beautiful violet to light lilac color on the outside and a blue color on the inside. With LED backlight, the blue color changes to a very nice cyanblue color. And it is precisely the play of colors of light violet on the outside and the beautiful cyan-blue that make the fluorite so special! This color build-up causes the fluorite to change color as the piece is moved. The largest fluorite cube measures 4.7 cm across the edge. The crystal surfaces show a fine square texture with a silky luster due to water etching. The crystals are undamaged and the sides show beautiful structures by water etching.
