Fluorite and Calcite

WE 22-10, 2020

​

Location:

Rucksack Cleft, Weisseck, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

The high gloss of the fluorite is exceptional on this piece. The crystal surfaces are high-gloss and curve inwards with a slightly parqueted structure. The outer 2 mm of the fluorites are colorless. In the interior of the crystal, intense violet zoning gives the fluorite its purple color. The fluorite is partially covered with light brown sinter. Some calcite crystals have grown in the lower left area, covered by sinter and a second generation of fluorite.
