Of all the specimens described to this point, this piece has the most delicate mixed chromophores of pastel green and pastel lavender. It is colorless at first glance, you think. The very large center crystal is 5.5 cm across and pristine! Only on the back of the piece are there a few contacted points. These gemmy crystals appear to be cubes modified by octahedral faces. This specimen stands nicely and is really much better and more dramatic in person than it appears here! The dark spots you see inside are bright pyrite inclusions, more apparent in person. The right photo shows the piece tilted to the side to emphasize the delicate drapery of small quartzes on some edges of the fluorites.
