Fluorite (M783)
This is not a piece you buy for aesthetics, also not for color or luster - this is a piece you buy for out-standing rarity. The habit is a Hexakis-Octaeder {321} - one of the most rare habits of Fluorite. Most times you only find it as combination with other habits or just as tiny crystals. But here we have a single crystal on matrix which is 70 mm across and this comes from a country which produce lot of amazing minerals - but just almost no relevant Fluorites. Overall this piece is an outstanding and exceptional rarity of highest scientific relevance! All faces show sharp termination and even good translucency; with moderately back-light it shows green and green-yellow color tones with some light lavender zonings. The specimen is out of the famous Fluorite-collection of Robert Brandstätter and will come with his personal label.
