Item Description

A striking and beautiful, color-zoned fluorite cube from the famous Shangbao Mine. The 2.7 x 2.5 x 2.0 cm, gemmy, water-clear, sea-green fluorite cube with a swirled vivid purple interior is jauntily set on the wedge of matrix with smaller fluorites. The frosted/etched beveled edges, TV-like water-clear prism faces and frosted prism faces really add character to this classic Shangbao fluorite. A very fine, nearly pristine, 360-degree specimen with the cube having only very trivial side wear. Moderately common around 10 years ago, you do not see many on the market very often now. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock.
