Description

Classic material from this famous locality. The specimen consists of dark lustrous fluorite crystals, which show intense yellow internal color when backlit. The edges and partly faces aree covered with tiny, sharp, white baryte crystals - they also show some layer, which is intense red! This is material from older discoveries and hard to obtain in our days - dimension and contrast is very impressive in person!
