Description

This is a specimen of fluorite crystals in association with pyrite. When viewed under the microcsope, you will note that there are two generations of fluorite cyrstals.

The earlier layer is coated with botryoids of red iron oxides, lending an overall red colouring to the specimen. The second generation is clear and colourless, though the pyrite gives the piece a yellow colouring. Some of the faces of the second generation are frosted.
