Description

An elegant specimen featuring two interconnected geodes hosting several dozens of pale purple fluorite cubes. Lavrion fluorite displays a rather rough surface, with medium transparency, and this is a good example of it. The specimen has been mildly treated to remove iron oxides.
Rich, in good conditions, with minor peripheral contacts which do not affect the main groups.
From a rather limited find at the Barbara mines a few years ago, this unusually sizeable specimen comes straight out of my mineral collection.
