Item Description
This find really shocked the mineral collecting world, because botryoidal fluorites are rare, and here you had intensely PURPLE ones (which had rarely been seen before). The translucent specimens glow a luscious purple under good light. The contact on one edge is minimally detracting. Highly representative of the rare species and find.
