Fluorite (M786)
This is a very unusual specimen - and it needs a second look to see why: The white area in the center is NOT matrix - these are Fluorite octahedrons with a white layer. On it and also at the sides you can see sharp terminated, trasnparent and highly lustrous cubes. So what we have here is a combination of crystals in two habits from a locality which usually only produce cubes. The assemble is very aesthetic and eye-catching with lot of contrast! Ex Robert Brandstätter collection.
