Description

Very fine specimen of black fluorite. This specimen displays one of the other types found at the locality: very dark purple with yellow cores. The fluorites are beautifully associated with chalcopyrite, which is not seen very often with these black fluorites. Some of the crystals show some very interesting growth marks on their surfaces.
