4.0 cm x 3.4 cm x 2.3 cm
Here is a wonderfully aesthetic specimen from this small but unique find.
Beautiful, calcite scalenohedrons coated with a micro crystal dusting of purple fluorite,
sit on top of a grouping of hematite included fluorite and calcite crystals.
The purple coloring can be more pronounced depending on the lighting.
The tips of the calcite are not damaged, but are etched / dissolved.
The Hematite give the crystals a reddish brown coloring.
This specimen is all crystals, no matrix can be seen, and it has a very interesting form.
All the crystals have high luster faces, giving the specimen a lot of sparkle.
Overall in great condition, has contacted area on the right side and very top, but cannot be seen on display.
