Fluorite, Calcite
A fine, 1.7 cm, cuboctahedral fluorite crystal perched atop coated, calcite rhomb matrix. The pastel-purple fluorite crystal has two, absolutely water-clear faces that give a distinct, TV-look into the crystal interior. The remaining faces are lightly frosted. Also present is a small, spinel-twinned fluorite crystal attached to the upper corner of the fluorite. The matrix is glassy, intergrown, colorless calcite rhombs with a secondary overgrowth of cream-colored calcite microcrystals. This is a very distinctive specimen from a small new pocket found at the mines of Naica, Mexico about mid-2008.
