Purple Fluorite in a single Quartz crystal. Fine example of this rare occurrence, a one time find as far as I know. Most
from this find had lots of surface pitting caused by Fluorites that were once only partially
inside the Quartz and later dissolved away (leaving the pitting). With this specimen, all the Fluorite are located entirely within
the Quartz, and the Quartz itself is undamaged. Lots of Fluorite too, I count about 12 crystals.
Much better than pics.
