Item Description
A superb and beautiful color-zoned fluorite miniature from a small new find at the famous Yaogangxian Mine. Intergrown, water-clear, light blue fluorite cubes have fabulous purple interior and edge phantoms! Outstanding material from this noted locale. Nearly pristine, with only trivial edge wear on the right side. The mine is the subject of an extensive and excellent article in the current issue of the Mineralogical Record. Good timing! Valued at $750-900. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
