Description:Some of the most richly colored smaller Fluorite crystals from any world locality that I have seen. All of the cubes of this specimen have deep purple exteriors with vibrant golden cores, and show a very unique and eye-catching reddish hue when strongly backlit. The large crystal measures 1.0 cm on edge, and many of them are damage free. There is some very small associated golden Barite on the piece, a great sign that the piece is indeed from this classic locality. German Fluorites come in a wide range of colors, but rarely does one find crystals as unique and intense as these. A very cool display specimen of this uncommon material.
