Classic Romanian pseudomorph specimen with blocky crystals of what were once melanophlogite to 0.5 cm in size across the front of this matrix and replaced by attractive lustrous blue quartz. This is in good condition. Often these are described as forming after fluorite, but have recently been proven to be melanophlogite.
