The topside of the specimen is covered in almost colourless fluorite cubes with a slight purple tinge, especially in the sunlight.  Most of the fluorite cubes are in good condition although there are some areas of contact to some of the smaller cubes.  The underside has galena and a large spray of creamy hexagonal calcites.  A really pretty specimen overall.
