Fluorite (M639)
The exposed main crystal is 59 mm on edges! It shows intense honey-amber color with thin blue zonigs along all edges. There are tiny additional faces at each corner - this is a very rare modification of Ikositetraeder, which is typically for Valzergues. Crystals in this size, color and quality came out in the 90ties, then never again! Great old classic, more or less impossible to acquire in our days. Acquired from Alain Martaud at the Munich show 2011, he had it in his personal collection, and got it originally from Dennis Boel. No significant damages to report, back-side was on the rock.
