Description

Good quality fluorite from Lavrion is too hard to find and this is a fine example from an older find. It exhibits sharp, cubic crystals with the highest possible luster for Lavrion and a purple color that is concentrated right under or on the surface of the crystals. There are some cute, interesting patterns on the crystals and minor calcite present.
