Mineral: Fluorite on Quartz with Pyrite
Locality: Sweet Home Mine, Mount Bross, Alma District, Park County, Colorado, USA
Dimensions: 157 x 112 x 56 mm

Description: Light purple cubes of lustrous, transparent Fluorite to 12 mm cover a matrix of white needles of Quartz to 17 mm long with brassy Pyrites to 17 mm and less crystallized black sulfides. One portion of the specimen is in excellent condition, and it should be trimmed, but as is it is more geologically interesting. The back side is fully covered with fine needle Quartz and accented with black sulfides and brassy Pyrites. I self collected this on September 9, 2001 in the main haulage tunnel.
