This is quite an unusual specimen, even for a prolific mine that has turned out more than its share of mineral specimens. First, the fluorites have ghostly phantoms inside - some of them, colorless phantoms in a field of purple, and others, purple-outlined in a colorless field. But also, the association with these hexagonal, prismatic calcites makes the specimen even more unusual and interesting.
