Description: Fluorite, Topaz, Microcline, Smoky Quartz, Albite. Lundy Island, Devon, England, UK 60mm x 58mm x 21mm A real mixture of minerals from a small pegmatitic pocket in the granite. The purple fluorite takes the form of an elongated cube with one face 16mm long, though not without damage. Topaz crystal lying flat on the microcline is 8 x 4mm. The tiny little 'starbursts' of black acicular crystals on the micrcline - I'm fairly certain these are tourmaline var. schorl.
