A group of dull but nicely translucent, golden yellow fluorite cubes to 3.2 cm with a cluster of thin baryte blades on one end. When purchased the specimen was rather rusty and crusty; the specimen was significantly improved by applying a variety of methods but some staining remains (its removal would require either more advanced methods than the specimen is worthy of). Fluorescent: purple under longwave UV (blacklight) and a pale, oily white under shortwave UV. Might benefit from a light oiling. Outside of the residual iron hydroxide/residues, the specimen is in very good condition. This fluorite would benefit from a light oiling (yes I know this is anathema but acceptable for lower quality, common specimens.) Despite the flaws, notable for the mineral species association.
