FT47F5: At the top of the specimen there is a very aerial pink Fluorite, which is part of a group of octahedral crystals that sit on the typical matrix for the locality: light pink Orthoclase along with smoky Quartz and Clinochlore. Very unusual and elegant = a typical Jan Buma specimen. It also has a label, numbered 353, from the Herbert P. Obodda collection, which is where he got it. The specimen's photo has been reviewed and published in the magazine ‘Rocks & Minerals’ on page 141 in the volume 88, number 2, Mar/Apr 2013
