Summary

Description
English: Fluorite
Locality: Aliabad, Hunza Valley, Gilgit District, Northern Areas, Pakistan (Locality at mindat.org)
An intrepid mineral buyer who stalks fine specimens in some of the most remote places of the world brought this VERY RARE spinel-twinned fluorite crystal home about five years ago; he said he buys every one of these he sees, and that’s not many. It is a complete, TRANSPARENT pink crystal, flat and lustrous on the two side faces so that you can see right through it. From the side, you can clearly see the twinning re-entrant. There is a small bit of edge wear alon gthe top only, otherwise its in good shape. Note the interesting (and to my experience , unique) epitaxial growth of two flat, colorless fluorite crystals on the face as well! 8.5 x 5.4 x 2.2 cm
Deutsch: Fluorit
