Description
A well crystallized floater piece of dark purple fluorite demonstrates multiple lavendar phantoms with directed lighting. The dark purple of the cubes is contrasted nicely by the small, delicate white flowers of barite that covers the surface. There is also minor sphalerite dusting the piece. The photos taken are not photoshopped or turned up in any way, but very strong lighting was used to demonstrate the glow of what this piece can do in the correct lighting. In dalylight, the cubes are very dark and nearly black with the barites, of course, providing nice white contrast.
