Large botryoidal Fluorite

Item Description

A sculptural large crust of nubby, bubbly, translucent purple fluorite botryoids dominated by the impressive 7.0 cm botryoid at the top. They have a matte finish. The secondary fluorite overgrowth on one-half of the large botryoid is fascinating. Botryoidal fluorite is rare worldwide and this is a very fine large example. The translucent specimen glows a luscious lavender when backlit. Highly representative of the rare species and find.
