This is a floater of glass-clear Illinois fluorite, with the classic purple and yellow tones. The back side consists of hundreds of microfaces; the crystal was etched naturally while still in the pocket, allowing faces to re-form on the back side. You can still see a few curved etched areas which give evidence of the stages this crystal went through. Unfortunately, the front corner is dinged - but it is a pretty and interesting specimen nonetheless. 7.2 x 5.1 x 3.2 cm
