This cabinet specimen from Minerva No. 1 mine, Cave-in-Rock, displays a rich coverage of well-formed cubic Fluorite crystals coloured by inclusions of hydrocarbons and with a small patch of creamy-white calcite overgrowth. The Fluorite crystals are glassy and sharp, with only minor damage visible. The colour is a smoky amber-brown but with flashes of purple. Formerly owned by Jesse Fisher.
