A cluster of exceptionally lustrous and translucent, color zoned, light and dark purple fluorite crystals to 3 cm across is festooned with doubly-terminated, lustrous and translucent, amber colored calcite crystals to 1.8 cm in length. From the Bahama ore body in 1991. The fluorite crystals exhibit truly amazing luster and the camera cannot capture it except from the side angles. This is a dramatic combination piece with great contrasts, nearly complete all around except for only very minor dings. RCL 1758. Very nice combo specimen!
