This appears at first glance to be Chinese, but no, it is a much rarer, superb specimen of purple fluorite from the San Antonia Mine (out of the Marty Zinn Collection). The fluorites and associated quartz crystals completely surrounded the sparing matrix, so all you see is this glorious burst of color and sharp crystals, with an extremely aesthetic overall form. The fluorites measure up to around one centimeter across.
