The transparent purple-and-blue crystals on this large specimen are piled up 4 cm deep, with modifications on the cube forming hundreds of lustrous faces. Rather than being a solid, undifferentiated mass of fluorite, the fluorite is sitting on a matrix of muscovite. This is a big, showy and very impressive fluorite specimen! 18.0 x 13.2 x 8.6 cm
