The Fluorite is almost colorless in the interior with a blue layer just beneath the deep violet surface. A small scattering of cream colored Calcites grace the top surfaces. On a custom base of feldspathic granite with garnet inclusions. Some damage to fluorites but this is virtually invisible when lit.
