On a fluorite crystal, mainly octahedral dress, with faces of rhombic dodecahedron, grew a mineral of the chlorite group, coloring it green, darker on the rhombic dodecahedron faces, and lighter green on the octahedron. On this crystal are grown, in an orderly manner, other crystals, second generation, of fluorite, colorless, mostly with the cubic habit and rhombic dodecahedron faces. And finally a prismatic crystal, hexagonal, orange, synchisite group. All on crystals of orthoclase, orange pink.
