This is one of the nicer matrix fluorite specimens from the famous Sweet Home mine. Many of these gemmy, lustrous, crystals are bi-colored, with deep purple cores and white edges. The largest of these measures 1.25 cm across. For color contrast, there is even a cleaved rhodochrosite rhomb and colorless quartz crystals to 1.0 cm across. Quite rich and unusual for the locality!
