Item Description
Classic, transparent, very glassy, color-zoned fluorite cubes to 1.7 cm with grape-purple cores and sea-green rims are aesthetically clustered atop splendent, metallic-silver arsenopyrite crystals.

This is a classic, very fine and showy combination specimen from the famed Yaogangxian Mine. Rich purple fluorescence on the fluorite. Valued at $400-600.
