Item Description
Fluorite stalactites are uncommon from any locale. This striking and fine piece is from the famous Yaogangxian Mine and consists of stacked, intergrown, lustrous, lightly frosted transparent to translucent cubes to 1.2 cm (at the top!). VERY interestingly, the cubes on one side are colorless, transparent, while the cubes on the other half are gray. Brown interior tinting is also visible within the transparent cubes. Essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of perphery wear. A most impressive, 360-degree piece. Moderate purple fluorescence.
