This huge red botryoidal fluorite ball on yellow dogtooth calcite, which glows red under UV light, is a truly rare and stunning natural mineral specimen. The combination of red botryoidal fluorite and yellow calcite creates a striking, beautiful contrast.

The rarity of red fluorite comes from the fact that just one quarry in the world, the Mohadari Quarry, produces collectible specimens of red botryoidal fluorite, and of all the botryoidal fluorite excavated there, less than 1% is red. The large size of the red botryoidal fluorite ball gives the specimen a textured, organic look that is both fascinating and mesmerizing.

The scarcity of red botryoidal fluorite is what makes this specimen special, along with its size and pairing with calcite. A piece of geological history and a sure conversation starter, it is a highly desirable addition to any collection.
