This is an aesthetic plate of well formed, intergrown fluorite crystals, with the largest crystal, 2.0 cm across, perched at the very top of the specimen if stood vertically. It has good luster and translucence with a rich lavender color supported by colorless areas and opaque lavender cores which are oblique to the plane of crystal growth. The photos here are with only moderate lighting. In strong backlighting, these crystals "pop" out at you.
