Item Description
Absolutely limpid and beautiful, paris-green, fluorite cubes make up an aesthetic cluster from recent finds at the famous Xianghualing Mine of China. The large central cube is 3.5 cm wide. Rotating the piece and looking into the crystals is surreal, as you can see the white, color-zoned centers and the "garden" effect of the underlying shale matrix. The crystals are pristine and the periphery wear is certainly not a detraction. This is contemporary classic material of excellent quality. Rich purple fluorescence! MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
