While Fluorite is most famous for its sharp cubic crystals, this exceptional specimen from the La Lupita Mine in Mexico showcases the elusive botryoidal habit—forming smooth, globular clusters reminiscent of a bunch of grapes. We curated this piece for its deep, royal purple saturation and the beautiful contrast provided by its sparkling white Quartz matrix. To add to its allure, the Fluorite is UV-reactive, glowing with an ethereal intensity under ultraviolet light. This is a sophisticated 'connoisseur' specimen, representing a unique geological occurrence that stands out in any advanced mineral collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSPECIMEN DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMineralogy:\u003c\/b\u003e Botryoidal Fluorite on Quartz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 84.9 x 70.6 x 44.0 mm (3.34 x 2.78 x 1.73 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 355g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/b\u003e Rare globular (botryoidal) growth habit; deep purple coloration; high-contrast quartz matrix; UV reactive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLocality:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mindat.org\/loc-206579.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLa Lupita Mine, Sierra Descubridora, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll Gatsby Gems specimens are carefully selected for quality, authenticity, and display appeal.
