A fully formed large (6.7 x 6.2 x 5.3 cm) purple doubly terminated lustrous octahedral fluorite crystal with 5 of 6 terminal points visible and the sixth corner evident under a bed of deep red lustrous translucent spessartine garnet dodecahedral garnet crystals up to 1.1 cm across with burgundy red reflective flashes; a very unusual layer of bulbous lustrous steel grey manganite crystals is built up in several places, with a band of orange lustrous spessartine garnet crystals under one side of the manganite, with a creamy white matrix of feldspar.
