A fluorite crystal from Illinois that stretches over 12 cm along the edge. It shows very dramatic zoning - a "cube inside a cube," with the inner one outlined in dark purple - and another purple outline right near the exterior. Those are natural crenellations along the front edge, not damage. The bottom edge has a natural stepped pattern to it.
