At 2,711 m Weißeck is the highest mountain in the Radstadt Tauern mountain range in Austria. The Weißeck Area is well-known for Fluorite crystals, having been collected for centuries, but there is a rich diversity in their colour and form between individual alpine clefts. This small cabinet-sized display specimen is a rich aggregate of well-formed intergrown cubic crystals of a very pale sea-green colour with no obvious damage. At over 3 cm on edge the largest crystal is quite sizable and although internally cloudy they are still translucent to the light.
