Description

One of the best Wölsendorf fluorite specimens I had since I started at e-rocks. The fluorite crystals show a nice, pale green color with a purplish appearing 'rim' caused by tiny red eisenkiesel (quartz with hematite) crystals. The crystals are transparent to translucent. Except for a few square centimeters in the middle the whole thing lets backlight shine through beautifully.
