Item Description
A striking 7.0 cm fluorite botryoid at the top dominates this sculpural and impressive large crust of nubby, bubbly, translucent purple fluorite botryoids from China. 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. From the mid-2000s finds here in China (purple ones) and comparable to but larger and deeper color than the famous old purple fluorite of similar style from near Canon City, Colorado. The translucent specimen glows a luscious lavender when backlit. Purple fluorescence. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. Highly representative of the rare species and find. Valued $2500
