Comment: Colorless prismatic crystals of quartz to 7.4 cm in length are forming an aesthetic cluster measuring 15.6 x 7.2 x 5.5 cm in size overall. Purple gemmy fluorite crystals to 3 cm on edge are present upon the quartz. Minor damage is present; still quite nice for such a large combination piece from this locality.
