Botryoidal Fluorite

Item Description

This find of a couple of years ago really shocked the mineral collecting world, because botryoidal fluorites are rare, and here you have an intensely grape-purple one (which had rarely been seen before). This bubbly, botryoidal LARGE CABINET piece has great form and the very sparkly moderately translucent botryoids have a nice glow when backlit. There is a preferential dusting of a gray material on the left side of the piece, which gives the piece a nifty shadowy look Essentially pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. Very highly representative of the rare species and find.
