Item Description

Nubby, bubbly, translucent purple fluorite botryoids with a matte finish form a sculptural large banded crust from recent finds at Minggang. 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.
