A cabinet specimen hosting numerous colorless cubo octahedral fluorite crystals, on matrix. I obtained a small group of specimens from this pocket last year, the others were sold in Tucson but this one stayed back awaiting trimming.
On the most interesting things about the specimens fromt his pocket are the presence of visible bubbles and liquid inclusions inside the flourite crystals-- this one has several bubbles in the main crystal, and one that actually shows some movement when the specimen is turned. This is observed quite a bit in quartz, but less so in fluorite.
