On a matrix of massive sphalerite is a large plate of fine, translucent, color zoned, purple fluorite cubes, to 6.0 cm across. The fluorite is also the host for three clusters of ivory colored Baryte and a few gemmy little calcites. THIS MONSTROUS PLATE has very little damage, almost none. It is much more appealing in person where you will see that backlighting shows off some internal translucence and phantoms...difficult to show in our photos of such a large piece.
