Delicate rose pink to red fluorite crystals perched aesthetically on a jagged formation of smoky quartz; an uncommon and highly sought-after combination in alpine mineral specimens. The sharp, well-formed octahedral crystals contrast beautifully with the pointed quartzes, in both form and colour.

The highest peak in Europe at 4807m, Mont Blanc is located in the Alps, along the French-Italian border and reaches into Switzerland. Due to the high altitude and extreme alpine environment, only specialized Strahlers are able to prospect for specimens there, making fine mineral specimens few and far in between.
