specimen number:

location:
Goscheneralp, Goschenen Valley, Uri, Switzerland

description:
Beautiful classic Alpine specimen to gemmy pink lustrous octahedral crystals of fluorite to 1.3 cm across set upon a colorless gemmy quartz crystal 5.0 x 4.0 x 3.0 cm in size. Very minimal micro-chipping present, I find this to be in excellent condition. The quartz crystal is nicely terminated on one end naturally healed on the other. Shows nicely all around, I cannot find any points of attachment really with any previous matrix. Minor albite present as well. Ex Phil Martin collection.
