Several water-clear lustrous Quartz crystals to 79 x 35 mm are coated with opaque white rhombs of Dolomite to 2 mm mixed with light-brown Scheelite crystals to 1.5 mm and pale-purple Fluorite cubes to 2 mm. Silvery Arsenopyrite and black Stannite provide a nice sulfide accent. Cubes to 15 mm of glassy light-purple Fluorite with darker-purple corners are perched atop the Quartz. The Fluorite fluoresces purple with bright purple corners in UV, and the Scheelite is bright blue-white. This is an aesthetic specimen from the mid 1990s. No damage.
