Fluorite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
A pretty combination specimen showing deep amber color highly translucent cubic crystals of fluorite hosting colorless lustrous scalenohedral crystals of calcite to 1.3 cm in size. Some of the calcite crystals are cleaved, this is very typical of these from this locality. Overall I think this piece in good condition. Beautiful when backlit.
