An unusual floater crystal of deep purple fluorite from this classic district, complete all around with step-like crystallized faces even running around the backside. While not symmetric in back, it is completely crystallized. It has unusual stepped and beveled edges to the modified cubic crystal which add character. The color is a very rich, beautiful purple with blue core. Overall, an unusual specimen apparently from older finds here. From the noted European fluorite collection of Dr. Jan Buma, Netherlands.
