Item Description
Botryoidal fluorites are rare from anywhere, so these translucent purple botrydoidal specimens have been a big hit since they first came out a few years ago. This large, striking, sculptural two-sided rib is very uncommon from a small New Find. The color is a pretty lilac and it glows, when backlit. One end is contacted, but the rest of the piece is pristine. Very showy and most excellent large material from this new find.
