This is a beautiful and striking large fluorite crystal group featuring two generations of gemmy, very sharp raspberry-violet fluorite crystals. The combination of larger cubic crystals with an overgrowth of smaller, more rectangular fluorite crystals is super aesthetic and unique. An old specimen with numerous labels, dating back to 1959 when it was acquired by New Jersey collector John J. Durkos! Classic! Mark Cross photo.
