Item Description

A richly colored, sharp, very gemmy, octahedral crystal group of Fluorite from the De'an Mine in China. The main crystal has a gorgeous green hue, with smooth, distinct crystals faces, and only one small contact near one of the crystal points. When backlit, one can see a slight lilac/purple hue along with small colorless zones along the edges of the crystals. The color is about as rich as I have seen from this mine, and is not a light pastel hue like many others from De'an.
