This specimen consists of a mass of snow white, intertwined quartz xls that host two pale purple fluorite xls that display heavily modified cubic faces. I would best describe the crystallization as a stair step pattern. The larger fluorite xl measures 1.9x1.5cm, while the smaller one is 8x7mm. There is also a micro pyrite xl found on the right side of the piece. A very attractive (and undamaged) specimen to my mind. I like the way the fluorite lays on the quartz. Enjoy!
