Field of view: 20 mm. Transparent fluorite. The transparent cubes are fluorite. The brown basement is gangue quartz encrusted with limonite.

Recovered from an open space of a quartz vein in a pneumatolytic deposit combined with skarn formed by contact metamorphism of I-type (magnetite-series) granite. Formed in the early Paleocene (65 Ma).

Fluorite from this location was described in 1947.
