A very large crystal of dark purple fluorite from Illinois, with stepped faces. The crystal is complete all around - the back side, which was the contact face, healed in the pocket (the crystal having broken off naturally inside the pocket) and/or was etched so that it has a bizarre appearance of dozens of piled-up sheaves.
