Charlie had only one flat of this very unusual association, which he said was found at the end of the 1990s. The fluorites here are mattte-green, but translucent, and they sit on contrasting amethyst crystals to 2 cm in size. The largest fluorite on this plate, which is also our largest specimen of the pocket, is 3.6 cm. These are octahedral, translucent crystals and on the edges have oriented outgrowths of minute cubic faces. I cannot think of a fluorite on amethyst association from any other locality (can you!?).
