A highly contrasting and ELEGANT botryoidal Fluorite on Fluorite specimen from the Yangia Mine in Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province, China. This well balanced piece has translucent, wet luster, golden honey yellow botryoidal Fluorites that appear to be gently resting on top of an earlier stage of zoned purple Fluorites. This specimen has uncommonly well defined and much larger, up to 2.6 cm, crystals of the purple octahedral Fluorite with slightly curved faces. The unique botryoidal crystal habit of the yellow Fluorite appears to consist of numerous small octahedrons showing unusual curved triangular faces with stepped growth. This pristine specimen has a pleasing aesthetic look with its glowing resplendent botryoidal Fluorites. We obtained a small lot of these highly desirable and unique Fluorites at the time they came out, and have held them until now. Don't miss out on the opportunity to add one to your collection.
