Description

A very uncommon combination of pink octahedral Alpine fluorite and green epidote from the west side of Furkahon. The base of the crystals is a tan-white pericline that is perched with dark green epidote crystals encrusted in a thick layer of glassy light pink fluorite. Fluorite is partially corroded giving the cluster even greater luster.
