A central core layer of purple fluorite is covered by a cluster of lustrous and translucent, ivory colored scalenohedrons of calcite, to 2.5 cm in length. Some of the crystal tips are colored a light amber color giving the whole specimen a really unique "pincushion" effect. Mined in November 1994 and from The Ross Lillie collection. RCL# 1533. This is a large, beautiful, showy and deceptively "simple" specimen that nonetheless has really good aesthetics.
