A 2 cm blue/green Fluorite on Quartz crystals with Hubnerite crystals rising through the Quartz.
This specimen stands out because of the unusually translucent red main Hubnerite crystal. These are more commonly
opaque and dark brown to black in color. The red color of the translucent Hubnerite and presence fo the Fluorite
make this a good specimen despite the fact that some of the Hubnerite crystals have damage.
