Cerdito Prospect Rift Crystals (CP2)
Notes specific to this specimen: Incredible combination of small clear quartz crystals with purple fluorite crystals over top of botryoidal green fluorite. Nice standup piece has sawn-flat bottom and back showing the dynamic cracks and infilling produced by the North American Midcontinent Rift which happened about 1.1 billion years ago. Because of the fluorite, it fluoresces very strong purple/blue.
