Solid mass of Sphalerite crystals forms the matrix for deep purple cubic Fluorite crystals. The Fluorite
crystals are partially etched away. The Fluorites show the glassy, gemmy 'Carthage Corners' that Fluorite from this mine is noted for.
A cluster of cream colored Barite adds accent. A chip on one Fluorite corner, otherwise undamaged.
