Item Description

Stunning, sharp interior color-zoning is dramatically visible in the glass-clear, stepped-growth primary face of this sharp and pristine, 4.7 x 4.3 x 4.2. cm, pretty teal-green fluorite cube. The other five stepped-growth faces have satin luster, obscuring the interior. All of the crystal faces are very glassy and highly lustrous, as the photos show. The bit of attached matrix of smaller cubes is a fine complement to this outstanding single crystal small cabinet from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. Purple fluorescence. See the fine 2011 Mineralogical Record Special Issue, China-III, Vol. 42, No. 6. MUCH better in person, the glassiness and luster made photography difficult. A modern classic!
