This is an EXTREMELY uncommon fluorite specimen, in that only a small batch of these were extracted by a lone miner in the desert of Morocco before he gave up due to the awful conditions and the difficulty of finding them more than one at a time. Whether any more will be taken out is anybody's guess - and that is too bad, because they are quite beautiful. The crystals are a transparent light purple, to 1.6 cm, ranged along the top of the matrix. 5.4 x 3.5 x 3.4 cm
