When a vug is completely filled in by the secondary mineral its outward morphological or crystalline shape becomes distorted by the shape of the vug walls.  In the case of Glendon we often times find vugs that have been completely filled in by the fluorite.  And thus a smatter'n of fluorite is formed.

Area of fluorite is 2 x 1 cm
