A great specimen from this famous locality, consisting of large Fluorite crystals perimorphed by Quartz thus in turn perimorphed by Sphalerite and thus in turn perimorphed by more drusy Quartz. A great example of the deposition of different minerals onto one another.
The Fluorite fluoresces in a vibrant blue as is common for Fluorite from this classic region. The fluorescence can be seen through the Quartz also.
Specimen has a cut base.
