Botryoidal fluorites are rare from anywhere; they are best known as the yellow ones that come from Nasik. So there was a lot of excitement when these purple ones were found in China. This is a single "bubble" of a nice small cabinet size, showing the pretty, glowing purple translucency you see when you put them under good light. It has a natural flattened face on one side where it grew against either matrix of another fluorite globe.
