A beautiful “fluorite geode,” continuing numerous deep
purple fluorites of the variety that has been marketed as “tanzanite
colored.” Although not the largest, this
was my favorite piece from the group.
Most fluorite specimens, especially from China, seem to be flat plates,
or clusters of crystals. Seldom do you
get this geode-like appearance, and the contrast with the white quartz combined
with the small windows at the back and the luster of the fluorite, make for a
particularly beautiful display.
