That is an awesome specimen with its perimorph (?) in the middle, it looks spectacular with the matrix you can see through this hollow structure. Are all of the fluorites on the specimen hollow?

It appears that the open fluorite is the only hollow crystal. The fluorites at the top of the piece are exposed on the backside and show that they are solid with a coating of quartz. The remaining fluorite crystals could be hollow.
