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 cutie have been very uncommon and this is from a small New Find. The color is a pretty lilac and it glows, when backlit. Broken stalactites on the back are mostly out of sight. Showy and excellent material from this new find.
