Description

The fluorites from this locality are truly remarkable, and this specimen is a perfect example. Sitting boldly on a radial quartz crust of approximately 2cm are isolated purple fluorite octahedrons. The fluorites exhibit a light exterior and darker purple zoning in the center. What makes this piece even more unique is the cluster of shapeless white aragonite perched on the octahedrons. Rare specimen that is hard to find on the market.
