A fantastic example of fluorite from this famous locality well known for rhodochrosite. Though there are a couple small crystals of rhodochrosite present, the saturated purple cubes of fluorite steal the show here. Crystallization rolls over to the back, with the lustrous fluorite associated with a number of sharp quartz points, all sat upon a glittering matrix of tetrahedrite and pyrite. In great condition, I note no damage to the display faces, only the contacted bottom and backside. A very neat combo specimen for the Colorado collector.
