While famous for spessartine and smoky quartz (which this specimen *does* feature on the back), China’s Wushan Spessartine Mine also produced (in smaller quantities) beautiful fluorites! This is a fantastic example, featuring 2 aesthetically perched purple octahedrons. Very beautiful! A staff pick!
