A fantastic example of this extraordinary combination of fluorite included in quartz!!!
These specimens were part of a small find a few years back and there is very little
material to be had!!! Out of all of the material there were very few good "specimens"
found, as most were broken up chunks!!! This magnificent specimen consists of a sharp,
single quartz crystal with numerous, intensely colored, purple fluorite crystals included
within!!! This specimen has exceptional clarity, luster, sharpness of form, and quality for this
locale!!! This locality produced only a very small number of crystals with significant
enough clarity and lustrous enough faces to be able to appreciate the fluorite crystals
within!!! This specimen hosts a particularly dense distribution of richly colored purple fluorite crystals, as well as a
few "negative" crystals (crystal cavities where the fluorite crystal has since dissappeared)!!! One side of the crystal also hosts a
coating of tiny, microcrystalline quartz crystals!!! Also, upon close examination these fluorite crystals are not octahedrons but actually
TETRAHEXAHEDRONS!!! This is a very rare habit indeed - one of the rarest fluorite crystal
habits!!! This material has all but disappeared since its initial, small one-time find!!!
The pics hardly do this rare beauty justice!!!
