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. Stalactitic forms, such as this scultpural piece have been very uncommon and this is from a small recent find. The color is a pretty lilac and it glows, when backlit. The column is complete all-around and pristine. The base shows the hollow tubes, where the precipitating fluids flowed. Showy and excellent material from this find.
