From a NEW find in Yunnan Province, delicate dove-grey stalactitic "fingers" of fluorite, a cluster of four undamaged ones centered on the matrix here with nicely graduated sizes. There is damage around the edges from removal from matrix, but none to the central fluorite stalactites. Note that stalactitic fluorite is quite rare compared to the usual calcite or chalcedonic varietals that usually form them!
