This fine, large crystal of deep purple fluorite is sharp as a razor and pristine all around, with contact only on the back where it was removed from the matrix. On its surface, you can see some tiny chalcopyrites. Check out the zoning when it is lit from the side - there is a very sharp phantom there! 5.0 x 5.0 x 4.4 cm
