Tongbei is known almost exclusively for its spessartine-on-smoky combination - but rarely, it produces fluorites too. This one is really striking, in that you have a single, isolated, perfect octahedral crystal perched right on the edge of matrix. It measures 2 cm. Hard to find! Purple is most rare, here.
