A large and interesting, if somewhat color-challenged, example of the botryoidal fluorite from a year or so ago in China. The surface is typically purple, but in this case, the fluorite turned back to white in the last stages of growth, as the pocket solution changed and the ions responsible for the purple color were no longer present. So, it is white in some areas and purple in others.
