AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful fluorite slab from the famous locality of Chavaniac-Lafayette, France.
The piece features many well-formed cubic crystals, interlocked with each other, with some areas slightly translucent and others more satinized, which adds a lot of relief to the overall appearance.

Under diffuse natural light, fluorite appears in dark blue tones.
In direct sunlight, the color shifts towards a blue leaning distinctly towards green, creating a beautiful effect of hue change depending on the angle and type of lighting.

Some small natural marks and light chips on the edges, typical for a piece of this size, but the overall aesthetic remains very good, and the piece presents very well in a display case.
Location: Chavaniac-Lafayette, Haute-Loire, Auvergne, France.
Mineral: Fluorite
• Max dimensions: 16.5 × 12 cm (approx.)
• Weight: ≈ 1,000 g
Treatments: None, untreated natural fluorite.

Colors may slightly vary depending on your screen calibration and the type of light used.
