Description

Uncommon fluorite from Derbyshire with zoned inclusion said to be marcasite, typical for the loaclity. I also see red inclusions which may be haematite. Except for a small chip on the largest crystal, no damage. Interesting surface structure of some fluorite crystals and very nice internal zoning present. Minor galena present in the back of the matrix.
