Fluorite—Colorado

E-mail:  chucksrocks@hotmail.com

These fluorites were obviously formed during a late stage of crystallization.  The fluorite often surrounds, binds, or encases pieces of “shattered” microcline.  These are interesting collector’s pieces because of their relative rarity for the area.
