Item Description
Botryoidal fluorite is very rare worldwide, with the finest recent examples coming from Mahodari, India and China. Canon City has produced about the finest US examples, but never in large quanitites. This is an extremely sculptural 360-degree stacked cluster of very pretty lavender botryoids. Pristine, except of the modest basal periphery wear, which has very minimal impact to the high quality of this piece. A must for the Colorado or species collector.
