Item Description
This recent find 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 - this one is lavender). The translucent specimens glow a luscious lavender under good light. The bubbly botryoids have great form. The front is pristine. The back is contacted, but it reveals the nifty hollow nature of some of the botryoids! Very highly representative of the rare species and find.
