Etched Fluorite – Mt-Blanc, France

This specimen consists of a single pink fluorite crystal on its granit matrix with some quartz. The main quartz crystal is actually a tiny gwindel. The fluorite itself is perfect but naturally etched, which makes it unsual for the locality. Maybe it was once a perfect octahedron, some million years ago.
