Botryoidal fluorites are rare from anywhere, so when these amazing purple ones were discovered in China, there was quite a stir made! We were lucky enough to get many of the best, and a good quantity of them compared to most dealers - there was not a lot around. Here is a largish plate with a bumpy botryoidal surface; these really glow a pretty purple if you put a strong light on or behind them.
