A super, rather eye-catching large miniature of deep purple, glassy, cubic Fluorite crystals, all about 3 to 4 mm on edge, scattered over the termination of a cleaved translucent milky-light grey Quartz crystal with a light-flesh-pink patina. The Fluorite crystals have intensely bright mirror-like faces with slightly stepped-curved edges. Where smaller cubes have developed, they become a gemmy mauve. A great Fluorite and Quartz specimen from the C'novec/Zinnwald orebody, spanning Saxony and the 'st' (Bohemia) regions of Germany and the Czech Republic.
