A very pretty, small miniature specimen (or large thumbnail) of almost black, deep blackberry-purple cubic Fluorite crystals to 7 mm, covering a hidden matrix of massive and crystallised Quartz. Nestling amongst this cluster are two lustrous lavender Fluorapatite crystals, the largest of which measures 6 x 6 x 8 mm, composed of two tightly intergrown crystals with a bright silky lustre. Numerous sub-mm Fluorapatites are dusted over the specimen together with bright brassy metallic Chalcopyrite crystals, some displaying a spectrum of iridescent colours. A great triple combination of species from Kr'sno, close to Horn' Slavkov in the Czech Republic.
