Violet fluorite on calcite, Artenberg quarry, Steinach, Germany.

35,00€

Purple fluorite is quite rare in this quarry, as we’re used to finding it in green. The specimen shown here consists of a multitude of sharp-edged fluorite cubes on a calcite matrix studded with hematoid quartz crystals.

A closer look with a binocular will reveal small chalcopyrite crystals, and many other details.

It comes from the Artenberg quarry in Steinach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Ex Éric Asselborn mineral collection.
