Small Calcite crystals cover underlying yellow and purple colored Fluorite. The crystals are a light honey brown color. Most of the crystals are transparent. The crystals have a high luster and slightly melted appearance which may have been caused by exposure to acidic ground waters. The specimen was in a large broken down box with several other specimens most of which were damaged because the newspapers they were wrapped in had deteriorated over time.
Condition: Very Good
Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
