An aesthetic almost U-shaped cluster of purple and blue color zoned Fluorite from the Yaogangxian Mine in Hunan Province China. The center of all of the Fluorite crystals uniformly have purple cores with a prominent pale blue body and a purple rim with for a dramatic overall "spotted" effect! The off-white color of the matrix in the background heightens the contrast of the transparent to translucent Fluorite crystals and the "spots". Some of the off-white matrix peaks out around the top and bottom of the piece to enhance the overall contrast. Roberts Minerals International label.
