A very richly colored cluster of these fantastic, grape juice colored fluorites! Found in early 2017, these "tanzanite fluorite" crystals as the Chinese called them, rarely got to this size. (Note the name is to denote the coloring of the fluorite and not an actual combination of the two species here.) A fine cluster that presents dramatically, either vertically or sitting flat on its natural bottom (a contact face). It is complete all around, as I would sit it (shown in image 1), or contacted on the back but complete on front and sides, as shown in several other images standing up.
