Despite its intense colors, this fluorite is very transparent - almost glassy. The crystal shows an intense violet color on the outside and a blue to cyan color on the inside. With LED backlight, the blue color changes to a very nice intense cyan and green color. And it is precisely the play of colors of violet on the outside and the intense cyan-blue that make the fluorite so special! This colored zoning causes the fluorite to change color as the piece is moved. The fluorite cube measures up to 4.1 cm on the edge. The crystal surfaces show a fine square texture with a silky luster due to water etching and the sides show beautiful structures by water etching. First, second, fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth photo with medium LED backlit. For transmitted light illumination, I use an LED lamp with a higher yellow content. This is where the fluorites become particularly beautiful: they show more an intense cyan-blue color, which gives a particularly nice contrast to the intense violet. In daylight, the fluorites show more an ink-blue color instead of the cyan.
