This is a rare example of the so-called baryte crosses, a strange phantom effect formed by a baryte crystal frozen inside of the fluorite. But before the baryte was enclosed, it was stricken by some dissolution effect that makes it appear, on looking closely, like a small white cross shape, inside the fluorite.
