Light purple colored cubic crystals of Fluorite, many of which are penetration twins, have grown on stubby, Quartz crystals which in turn had grown on larger, dark green, cubic Fluorite crystals. Most of the larger crystals are gone leaving casts. These casts are covered with a druze of secondary Quartz crystals. Under UV LW, the Fluorite, both the purple and the green, fluoresces a bright blue.

Condition: Good

Flaws: A few of the Fluorite crystals have light damage.
