A brilliantly glistening fluorite with almost silky luster, from this classic locality! It is just faintly lavender in hue, but this is subtle. The piece has large, gemmy crystals to 3cm in size, many of which are absolutely 100% gemmy and show clear internal phantoms inside their cores. All I can say is that this is MUCH MUCH MUCH more impressive in person than pics can do, because the reflections of internal veils and lines are over-emphasized in such photos. Note the combination of sharp faces with interesting, minutely modified edge growth curving along the corners, characteristic of this locality.
