| Photo A, closeup red/purple fluorite #1, a very clear albite overgrowth can be seen on feldspar |  |
| Photo B, closeup red fluorite # 1, in any light, the true red is undeniable and dark, as is the color zoning...add some extra light for a stunning display....colors are accurate in these photos. |  |
| Photo C, full specimen, with big fluorites circled, and a few of the smaller ones, largest fluorite cube at least 1.5x1.5x1.5 inches |  |
*Photo truest to actual feldspar color* Photo D, center, one small ding in big smoky, most smokies 1-3 inches tall, feldspars up to 2 inches, largest smoky 4 inches tall and 1 inch in diameter
GEMMY, GEMMY, GEMMY...and extremely glassy...some of the striations need a microscope to identify
medium-sized purple/red fluorites scattered throughout matrix, appear dark with a red tint in normal lighting. |
