Origin and geology

The Clara mine is known for its exceptional fluorite finds and has made a name for itself among collectors worldwide. The area encompasses many old tunnels, the former open-cast mines and today's actual Clara pit, which is accessed via two mouth holes. Barite and ores were once mined, which were transported down into the valley by cable car. 

Besides barite, the most sought-after mineral in the Clara mine is fluorite. Numerous shapes, excellent quality, abundant crystal sizes and the attractive combinations with other minerals make it a very appealing mineral. 

Transparency with fascinating color transitions

The transparent structure of the fluorite allows the light to glide playfully through the crystals and highlights the soft blue color nuances in particular. This interplay lends the piece an impressive elegance.

A collector's item of special quality

This piece is not only geologically interesting, but also an aesthetic masterpiece that no collection should be without.
