Fluorite from Weißeck "Eiskluft" (Austria)

Floater piece of lustrous fluorite cubes with intense purple core and colorless outer sections. The piece stems from the so-called "Eiskluft" (ice cleft) found by R. Bacher and W. Petzelberger in 2007 at the north slope close to the summit of Weißeck mountain. The cleft has been worked until 2016 and provided a great variety of different fluorites in terms of color and habit. The fluorites according to the type of piece at hand were found in 2010 in the first section of the cleft.
