Gemmy and lustrous, color-zoned purple fluorite cubes to 6 mm are richly and aesthetically strewn on the top of a crudely blocky matrix of off-white to very pastel-pink microcline crystals from a new Colorado find. A real bonus is the 3.8 cm pair of pristine, doubly terminated smoky quartz crystals hidden on the bottom of this pristine, complete-all-around, floater specimen. This fine Colorado specimen is from the 2008 find in the Monster Pocket of the Dreamtime Mine in Teller County.
