Item Description
This recent find really shocked the mineral collecting world, because botryoidal fluorites are rare worldwide, and here you had intensely rich PURPLE (lavender) ones (which had rarely been seen before). This sculptural two-sided rib is composed solidly of bubbly, botryoidal translucent fluorite, that glows a luscious lavender under good light. Pristine. This piece looks great from either side and is pristine, except for the periphery wear at the base. Very fine quality fluorite of the rare species and find.
