Item Description

A dramatically aesthetic, sculptural and rich two-sided combination rib from famous Shangbao Mine. Both sides are festooned with marvelous water-clear, lustrous, colorless fluorite cubes with striking rich purple centers! The intergrown cubes reach 1.1cm and are beautifully accented with lustrous, pastel-pink, saddle-shaped dolomite rhombs. This is a very showy and highly desirable fluorite style from this noted locale. Modest purple fluoresence. This is certainly one of the very finest examples of this combination style I have seen from here and this super piece has many fine display views. Seldom on the market today in this style and quality. Valued at $800-1000.
