Two wonderful intergrown cubes of purple fluorite, from the now-closed Elmwood (the material from here has become scarce on the market). The fluorites measure 2.6 cm across the edge. There is a contact on the upper back of one of them, but as you can see, this specimen has a fine display face. The crystals have good transparency and appear to be outlined in dark purple - they are really pretty. The surfaces have a pebbly look resulting from thousands of small tiers that form the faces.
