Fluorite

Beautifully blue-zoned, stepped-grown and highly lustrous fluorite crystals up to 0.7 cm in size - accompanied by pinkish-beige baryte crystals. This material is highly sought after because oft its amazing blue color and rarity. There are a few chips visible which does not affect the appearance of that well-colored specimen. Here we have a sample with darker edges around a light-blue crystal cores. From the Nowaja Shaft (=Schacht 78 Mine) Frohnau, Annaberg-Buchholz, Ore Mts., Saxony, Germany.

The intensity of the blue color depends on the light you chose. The best coloration is seen in an indirect day light.
