DESCRIPTION
This is an old Canadian classic! It was discovered already in 1916, the locality is well known for green Fluorite and yellow Barytes, but material is rare and hard to obtain. Here we have a lavender Fluorite, which is even more rare. The octahedral crystals with stepped faces are set on milky Quartz.
