A striking, fairly large interpenetration-twinned fluorite from this classic locality. Glassy luster and rich purple color make it stand out. Under fluorescent light, it glows a vivid purple - no surprise since this is from the region that produced the fluorite which lent its name to the very term "fluorescence!" 6.2 x 4.8 x 4.6 cm
