EXL27CD4: Cubic Fluorite crystals with slightly rounded edges and vertices, colorless, transparent, very shiny and on matrix, associated with several white lamellar Baryte crystals. The inclusions in the Fluorite crystals are hydrocarbons of organic origin and, in the case of this piece, they stand out due to the water-clear transparency of the Fluorite crystals.
From a classic Asturian mine from which it is increasingly difficult to obtain quality specimens, this piece comes via the collection of Thomas von Criegern.
