A large plate of lustrous cubic crystals of fluorite with very deep purplish-blue colour phantoms near the edge and lighter interiors. The cube edges are modified by one face of the rhombic dodecahedron, or two of the tetrahexahedron. Interestingly the bigger crystals show nice blue octahedral phantoms near the core. Lustre is very good and it is in very good condition.
