This is a truly unusual and attractive mineral specimen which exhibits THREE generations of fluorite. Deep green, frosted, octahedrons, up to 3 cm in length, are topped by a layer of drusy purple fluorite, which, in turn, appear to have colorless crystals, to .5 cm, epitactic on the corners of the underlying octahedral crystals. All I can say is WOW!
