A large, super-rich plate of fluorite crystals from the find several years back that caused quite a stir, with octahedrons of all sizes embedded in stark white contrasting quartz. The crystals had a range of combinations of green and purple hues - this one has a nice balance of the two. These crystals were never lustrous, as they have to be etched out of the quartz with acid to expose them. The crystals here measure up to 2.5 cm across.
