Plate of rich purple zoned fluorite crystals to 2.2 cm with associated light yellow barite to 0.5 cm and drusy quartz and deep brown sphalerite.  The location is a bit problematic to pin down but the presence of quartz and yellow barite as well as the era of collection points to the W.L. Davis/Deardorff Mine. Good coverage of crystals and a fine display specimen.
