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). The translucent specimens glow a luscious lavender under good light. The bubbly botryoids have great form. The scattered yellowish iron oxide-coatings and seconday light lavender fluorite overgrowths add pizzazz. Pristine. Excellent and highly representative of the rare species and find.
