This is a huge plate of fine, sharp fluorites to 2.5 cm, with DISTINCT purple-edged phantoms inside! The solution in the pocket changed right at the end of the growth of the original generation of crystals, leaving them with dark purple outlines. Later, growth continued, engulfing these purple-outlined crystals with more of the teal-colored fluorite. Some of the phantom crystals were coated with a bit of quartz druse, making them stand out even more distinctly. A few quartz points stick up amidst the fluorites. There are a few dings, but overall the specimen is in good shape. 17 x 17 x 8.5 cm
