Fluorite from Beihilfe Mine, Halsbrücke, Saxony, Germany

A nice example of why the Halsbrücke district remains legendary. The habit is incredibly sharp, showcasing that classic coloration with just the right hints of localized zoning peeking through the cluster. Finding a piece like this is always a win, but seeing it under world-class lighting takes it to a whole different.

Massive thanks to Matthew Parshchikov for absolutely nailing this photograph!
