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 specimen consists of a sharp, doubly terminated quartz crystal
with numerous, intensely colored, purple fluorite crystals included within!!! 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!!! What is most exciting
about this specimen is that the fluorite crystals are brightly colored and the quartz is clear
and lustrous enough to allow one to see that 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!!!
