The Wölsendorf Fluorite Mining District has, as the name suggests, produced a lot of Fluorite as industrial grade fluorspar, but also crystallized mineral specimens in a diverse range of colours and in exceptional quality. Hermine mine is one of the well-known mines, but purple Fluorite is one of the rarer colours seen there. This thin, small cabinet-sized display plate of purple Fluorite crystals comes from Arvid Pasto's famous worldwide Fluorite collection and is thin enough that light transmits through it to enhance its beautiful colour which can be seen to be zoned, with a white base, pale purple interiors, and darker purple bands around the outer edges of the cubic crystals. There is some damage to the crystal corners and edges, but this is still a very striking Fluorite for Hermine mine.
