Deep purple fluorite crystals showing wonderful rich color, and a beautiful shape, from modern finds in Fujian Province of China (it came out in 2020-2021). This is the same area of mines producing what some people call "tanzanite fluorites" that actually span a variety of styles and colors from pale purple and more gemmy crystals to those such as this with a richly saturated and generally more purpley-blue tone. Pristine on display face except one very tiny ding. These crystals have a very geometric shape, and this is overall an impressive miniature, especially if backlit.
