Botyoidal fluorite is nearly unique in entire Africa - this is a specimen from a very small discovery, the material is exceptional and there was only a fist full of specimen! Fluorite developed a free-standing, vibrant yellow botyoidal assemble set in teh center of snowy white quartz. The contrast and the assemble are very good - but the mayor indicator is the botryoidal habit, which represents an outstanding rarity! No significant damages to report.
