Iron Sheep Fluorite (Eisernes Schaf Mine, Schreckenberg, Annaberg mining district, Saxony, Germany)
Eisernes Schaf is German for Iron Sheep, which is a quirky name for a mine. It is an old silver and cobalt mine that is also famous for lustrous, intensive yellow fluorites.
The locale is a rather obscure part of Saxony, which is why this type of fluorite isn't often heard about. Additionally, specimens from this mine aren't often aesthetically pleasing too, which makes awesome pieces like this even more special.
This piece has a vug on the side with more tiny fluorite crystals in it. It is UV-reactive, turning a beautiful pink-lilac under UV-light. And on its back is a layer of clear chalcedony which gives it a jelly-like texture.
