Octahedral Fluorite with Pyrite and Sphalerite
Octahedral Fluorite with Pyrite and Sphalerite.
 

FB86F9: The crystal is forming a complex growth in two different phases. In the first one the major octahedron formed and then on the octahedron vertices, smaller Fluorite crystals with dodecahedrons grew. Sphalerite and cubes of Pyrite form a perfect base to the sample. The Fluorite has good color and transparency and the referenced locality has become a classic.
