Here is a WHOPPER fluorite crystal, over 7.5 cm along the edge, with the classic pebbly surface and pretty purple color, from the now closed Elmwood Mine. The attachments are sphalerite (the zinc ore that was the reason for the mine). Except for one tiny, almost invisible nick, the corner modifications you see are natural, and are not damage! The back of the crystal is the contact where the crystal was removed - you do not see any of this from the front of the specimen.
