This is a rare style with gorgeous gems of calcite decorating a contrasting fluorite host! Totally covering the display side of lustrous, rich purple fluorite crystals measuring 4.5 cm across, are glassy and gemmy, colorless to amber colored calcite crystals to 1.2 cm across. A few calcite crystals are also doubly terminated. Mined from the Bahama Pod in 1992 and ex. Ross Lillie collection. RCL#1532. This piece SPARKLES in the light, and really is quite unusual for the district in the overall presentation and style.
