The COLOR on this piece is just the top, most saturated, grape-jelly purple you can ask for in a mineral specimen! Perched aesthetically high on a matrix of sparkling white calcite, quartz and cream-colored dolomite is a single lustrous and translucent, deeply-saturated crystal of fluorite, measuring 2.5 cm across. This crystal also exhibits classic stepped growth complexity on all but the top, apex faces. As an added bonus, there is an equant, brassy yellow pyrite crystal, that measures 1 cm across, at the bottom - just to have more species on one piece.
