Densely grown, partially twinned crystals of highly transparent, pleasant purple fluorite cubes, accented all around to varying degrees by quartz points, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite. Much of the chalcopyrite is dotted along the front faces of the fluorite, allowing it to sparkle when held in strong lighting! The mineralogy has also given the fluorite a layer of iridescence along the faces, though this was difficult to photograph.
