Fluorites from this old, iconic German locality has always been few and far in between, so it is always a lucky delight to find any at all, especially one that is so glassy with good lustre and bright colours such as this. In relatively good condition for its age, with an interesting inclusion of galena that adds to its depth.
Locality: Beihilfe Mine, Halsbrücke, Germany

Not many fluorite specimens were ever uncovered from this historic mine in Halsbrücke, and even less were properly preserved, due to the decades that have transpired since its discovery. Because of this, good specimens from this classic locality are highly sought after by fluorite collectors who know of its true value and rarity. The best crystals from Beihilfe display rich blue colours that have been inimitable by other localities. However, prolonged sun exposure will cause these blues to lose its beauty, becoming milky white. Other than blue, other colours seen in fluorites from this locality are purple-blue or bright yellow.

A beautiful Illinois corner with saturated yellow, to almost orange colours. The zonings are colourless with a hint of the rarer blue, with purple edges and etchings on the crystal itself. The fluorite specimen is extremely glassy, so much that the zoning is completely see-through. An exceptional specimen from the famous Annabel Lee mine.
