There are two specimens of clear English fluorite from the Cambokeels Mine in this auction. This one features three intergrown crystals to 2 cm nicely positioned on a bed of quartz. There is a very small cleave on the corner of one of the crystals, and contact on the back side of one where the specimen was removed from matrix. But you do not see that many of these in any condition, so it is quite desirable. 5.8 x 5.5 x 3.7
