Item Description
This find of 2007-2008 really shocked the mineral collecting world, because botryoidal fluorites are rare, and here you had intensely rich PURPLE ones (which had rarely been seen before). The translucent specimens glow a luscious purple under good light. The contact on one edge is minimally detracting. Highly representative of the rare species and find.
