Comment: A really cool multi-color "phantom" Fluorite specimen from this famous Fluorite producing area southwest of Freiberg. The piece is loaded with very sharp, lustrous, gemmy cubic crystals of Fluorite with an interesting color combination featuring a reddish-brown hue in the center which grades into a light yellow shade, and ending with a purple color on the edges. Good shape overall, and certainly unique with regard to the interesting coloration of the crystals! The largest cube measures 1.0 cm on edge. Weight with stand

Minerals: Fluorite (CaF₂)
