Really cool specimen! That locality produced a wide range of fluorites, from orange ones (reminiscent of the honigspat fluorites from Wölsendorf/Bavaria) and many shades of yellow, green and purple to this nearly black ones. Many of them even show zonings and different colours in one crystal. Really a nice locality for fluorite lovers :)
