Fluorite and Chalcopyrite

Unknown Owner
This specimen has really quite fantastic colors. The inner core is yellow with a thin purple band that is coated by a larger blue band with a thin purple rind on the exterior. There is chalcopyrite bot trapped in the interior of the fluorite crystal and on the exterior of the crystal. The specimen looks great from a variety of angles. I picked the side that displayed the most color for the photograph.
