Item Description
Impresssive and sculptural large botryoidal fluorite from a 2007-2008 find at this mine. These really shocked the mineral collecting world, as botryoidal fluorites are rare, and here you had intensely rich PURPLE ones (which had rarely been seen before). The translucent specimens glow a luscious purple under good light. The core of this banded piece is a gemmy grayish-green. The periphery wear on one side is certainly minimally detracting to this excellent CABINET, that has fine form. Certainly above average quality and size for the find. old material now. valued $900-1200
