A superb example of a type of fluorite that has been exceedingly expensive and hard to get in quality specimens. There are three intergrown crystals here of a glowing purple, isolated in the center of a field of contrasting quartz. The largest crystal measures 3.3 cm. These have been amongst the fluorite finds causing the most excitement over the past 2 years, and one can find them on various websites reaching into some really high dollar figures. Occasionally, though, we find a fixerupper at shows and vcan still get them affordably if you put a little work into cleaning. very NICE AND very INTERESTING MATERIAL - these are worth stashing away as they are so distinct from any other chinese fluorites! 13 x 9.5 x 3 m
