Description

Rare. Only a few fluorite specimen are known from this locality.

There is a purple octahedral crystal between the cubes. I don't remember ever seeing a purple (!) fluorire octahedron. They usually come in green or pink. The specimen looks like it was a tight cleft before. Therefore it shows some attachment marks.
