Summary

Description
English: Fluorite
Locality: Corvara Mine (Rabenstein), Pénnes Valley (Pensertal), Sarentino Valley (Sarn valley), Bolzano Province (South Tyrol), Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 16.4 x 15.4 x 8.3 cm.
Here is a link to some cool pictures of this mid-century fluorite mining operation in the Tyrol mountains (it was mined for its fluorine content): https://www.sagen.at/doku/bergbau/Bergwerk_Rabenstein.html (you can cut and paste the URL into Google to see the article). This is a BIG, HEAVY specimen from the mining that was preserved as a specimen due to the fine nature of the crystals - translucent green crystals to 4 cm. Despite some nicks and a cleave or two, this is rare material and should be forgiven these detractions due to the extreme difficulty of finding a specimen on the market, not to mention one of this size and richness. It came out of the Wein Collection, full of fine and hard-to-get European specimens, which was dispersed last year.
