Item Description
An EXCELLENT and aesthetic fluorite with dolomite specimen from the famous Shangbao Mine of China. The sea-green fluorite cubes are attractively set on a plate nicely accented with complimentary surgary dolomite crystals and couple of quartz needles. The central fluorite cube is 3.5 cm. The two large cubes have transparent, TV-like, frontal faces and you can look right down into the stunning green and purple color zoning in the interiors. The side faces have distinctive, frosted-look, stepped growth. The perfect, little fluorite cube on the lower left has incredible purple and green color zoning. Classic Shangbao and Chinese material and way above average for the locale. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
