Emplaced aesthetically on a quartz/dolomite matrix is a single, lustrous and translucent, JEWEL of a fluorite crystal! It is an exquisitely color-zoned fluorite crystal, measuring 2 cm across and perfect. The fluorite crystal is colored more than one shade of lavender hue, and clearly exhibits a complicated, intricate stepped growth which makes it sparkle. Colorless quartz crystals and saddle shaped dolomite crystals to 1.5 cm in length are also perched on the matrix for accents. 2011 finds.
