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 periphery wear is minimally detracting to this excellent small cabinet, that has fine V-shaped form. Certainly unusual in form and having two-toned purple color.
