Item Description
A showy, two-sided combination specimen from recent Chinese finds. The nifty cluster glassy, highly lustrous, pretty pastel-green, fluorite cuboctahedrons rests on starkly contrasting rose-red cleavage of a large rhodo rhomb and is nicely framed on the skyline with sparkly, snow-white drusy quartz. Most everything on the backside is covered with drusy quartz. Highly representative combination material, especially rich in fluorite, from this noted locale.
