Fluorite from Elmwood Mine, Tennessee, USA

Presented on top of a single, rotund Calcite crystal is a cluster of transparent, purple Fluorite cubes (reaching up to 4.0 centimeters). The Fluorite is skirted by a thin plate of lustrous, white Quartz druze and Dolomite. From the display view, the Fluorite has nice purple zoning. From the rear view, the Fluorite has been etched and recrystallized, covering the underside in fine stepped-growths.
