AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This impressive specimen features fluorite with calcite and sphalerite from the classic Cave-In-Rock District. The fluorite displays a rich golden-yellow to amber coloration with areas of internal transparency that respond beautifully to light, giving the piece a warm, glowing appearance. Well-defined cubic fluorite crystals are visible, some showing subtle zoning and sharp edges.
Associated calcite adds structural depth and contrast, while dark sphalerite crystals are intergrown throughout the specimen, providing a striking visual balance between bright and dark elements. The combination of minerals, strong color saturation and excellent crystallization makes this piece highly attractive.
