Fluorite, Quartz and Calcite

Reference: 387

Glassy, lustrous fluorite crystals with transparency such that they have taken on the dark colour of the limestone matrix.  Most  show twinning, are fluorescent and in size up to 16mm across. One half of the specimen has additional later calcite, quartz and  small but well formed pyrite crystals.  Small ding to a couple of the fluorite but most are perfect. Classic specimen from the 325 flats which have been flooded since the mine closed in 1989.
