A lustrous pair of blue and purple zoned cubes of fluorite decorate a contrasting bubbly, fine-grained muscovite matrix. The sharply formed fluorite crystals have distinct phantoms with a completely see-through, medium blue, 2.5 to 3 mm thick outer zone. This in turn surrounds a substantial, semi-transparent light purple-blue interior that has a thin, distinct purple zone at its periphery. The sizes are about 2.0 and 1.4 cm. The two crystals are just super lustrous with rich hues and have excellent color and textural contrast with the "botryoidal", tan muscovite along with a small group of 2 to 3 mm, metallic, tin-white arsenopyrite crystals off to the left. Great composition and better in person!
