2.6" Purple Fluorite Crystal Cluster after Calcite - China

This 2.6" purple fluorite aggregation was at one point an association with calcite that broke away, resulting in this unique cast. It is claimed that this fluorite is Yttrofluorite (fluorite containing an appreciable amount of the rare earth element yttrium), but we have not been able to independently verify this.

The specimen was collected in Guizhou, China.
