Color-zoned Fluorite w/ Quartz (New Find)

Item Description

Surreal color-zoned fluorite cubes are dramatically scattered the large sculptural matrix plate covered with starkly contrasting creamy drusy quartz. Stunning dark purple edge phantoms colorfully outline the starkly contrasting pretty light mint-green translucent fluorite cubes with satin lustre faces. The shocking cubes reach 1.6 cm on edge. The clusters of smaller cubes add real pizzazz. This is an outstanding example from a New Find at this well-known antimony-gold mine, which we cherrypicked when I was in China in June. Specimens of this unique style have trickled out from the mine over the last 10 years, but never in any quantity or size like this, until this one pocket. Pristine, except for very minor and acceptable periphery wear at some edges. The back has been sawed to enhance the striking display quality. Purple fluorescence. A choice example from the small lot we just received.
