The rich, deep orange colour of this Wölsendorf Fluorite is iconic, a German classic. With translucent, dark orange, sharp cubic crystals reaching to 4.5 cm on edge and displayed perfectly upon a 5 cm thick bed of Fluorite, this larger cabinet specimen is a really high class display example of this important facet of German mineralogy. The intergrown crystals present extremely well, and although there are a couple of small chips to crystal edges and two or three cleaved corners it still looks magnificent. With support, the layout of this specimen lends itself to be displayed in all four orientations from the front, with the large and colourful Fluorite crystals presenting extremely well.
