Item Description
An adorable and colorful fluorite combination thumbnail from the famous Sweet Home Mine. Aesthetically intergrown rich grape purple crystals are transparent to translucent and have variable lustre. Some of the cubes have striking broad, highly modified stepped-growth edges. Preferential drusy quartz coatings, along with clusters of tiny needle quartz crystals AND a few scattered tiny brassy chalcopyrite sphenoids really add contrast and drama to this cutie. The attachment at the bottom really highlights the gemminess of the rich purple fluorites. Choice combination fluorite from the Sweet Home with multiple display views.
