Item Description
This find of a couple of years ago really shocked the mineral collecting world, because botryoidal fluorites are rare, and here you had intensely PURPLE ones (which had rarely been seen before). The translucent specimens glow a luscious lavender when backlit. The contact on one edge is minimally detracting. Highly representative of the rare species and find.
