I guess these are Amethyst druze on green fluorite, does anyone know a location for these? We have a similar piece that possibly came from Colorado area...

Amethyst on Green Fluorite, Nancy Hanks Claim Mesa Co., Colorado near Grand Junction! This stuff came out about 20 years a go - I acquired a flat of it at Tucson.

Thanks Harold! Perfect, the other piece we have was given to my partner's cousin who lives near Grand Junction, he has his own mine :-) I wasn't testing you, if it seems that way, I'm just amazed it comes from the same location as a complete stranger gave us the above pieces along with the Halite bits I posted earlier...I shall email the pics to may partners cousin!
