Description

This is a very nice and not so common fluorite from China - i obtained it from China connoisseur Bert Ottens some years ago when the locality was only given as Xinjiang. Bert told me the narrower locality half a year later when it was finally revealed. I have only seen a very few of those and they seem to be quite rare nowadays. The specimen totally consists of fluorite of a dark purple colour with pseudooctahedrons built from innumerable cubic subindividues.
