Botryoidal fluorites are rare from anywhere, so there was a huge hubbub when these sensational purple ones were found in China around a year ago. There were not very many, and they were and still are rather pricey. This is a large, thick one with two main "domes." When you put good light on or behind these they just GLOW a gorgeous purple.
