A cluster of fluorite crystals, huge for this style from the Elmwood. I have seen dark purple crystals from there now and then in very large sizes, but very rarely the ones with yellow interiors. These are basically golden-yellow crystals with purple highlights; the purple is on the exterior skin. There is a compound crystal here that measures over 6 cm across. These are the type with the intensely gemmy golden corners that are distinctive from the Elmwood - sometimes cut into gemstones due to their clarity, or, sometimes seen naturally-etched from corrosive solutions in the pockets so that only these golden corners are left, with the back of the crystal being etched away into a cone shape.
