Dozens of razor-sharp, deep purple octahedrons of fluorite (to 0.7 cm), isolated and peppered all over the stark white contrasting matrix - including on the back side. These New Mexico fluorites are so distinctive - you know exactly what they are at a glance, with their pretty sharpness and contrast. Unfortunately, not around like they once were. Ex. George White, Dave Stoudt collections.
