Measurements from the purple sample. Two fluorite crystals, one purple, the other a teal and blue. The teal sample is a large piece of crystal, free from any matrix. The purple sample is cubic, with a rough bottom, almost like it broke off from a bigger piece. Both samples are from Cave-in-Rock Illinois.
