Stunning be-coloured pink fluorite coming from the Swiss Alps, the specimen which measures overall 2.6 cm was discovered in September 2016 in the Gletschhorn area. It is a perfect floater with a flat octahedron shape, the upper part which has been recrystallised is colourless and perfectly transparent, the lower part has a deep pink coulour which turns red under the led lights. The growth patterns on the faces are incredible, all the edges are razor sharp and it has a great luster. Stacked after 51 shots. Canon EOS 6D - EF 50 mm 1.8 II reversed - Focus rail
