The Fluorite crystals in this specimen are present as two distinct types. The majority of crystals are a light brown color with a light blue iridescence on the surface which makes them appear opaque and are up to 1.5 mm across. The other crystals are a rich, deep purple color, up to twice as large and are transparent. Crystals of both colors have a very high, sparkly luster. The bottom of the specimen has been sawed.
Condition: Very Good
Flaws: Two of the purple colored crystals are incomplete.
