Fluorite on Calcite (M843)
So far I know, these specimens are from a limestone-quarry and very low in number.
Fluorite cubes composed of smaller crystals with convex faces formed an aggregate, which is about 34mm across. Several specimen I saw so far show a layer, and are less translucent. This one shows intense honey-like color and with only minor backlight it seems to glow, looks like amber! All the tiny faces are lustrous, the aggregate is complete all around and there is not even a minor damage. Ex Robert Brandstätter coll.
