Item Description

Ice-like, water-clear, pastel-green fluorite cubes form a very showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at the famous Xianghualing Mine of Hunan Province. The impressive large cube is 5.8 x 5.0 cm. All of the cubes have very nifty, frosted, beveled edges and preferentially frosted faces. Rotating the piece and looking into the crystals is surreal, especially the large cube. The striking frontal interior view has either the "TV effect" or "garden effect", seeing the matrix on the floor of the cube. A bit of edgewear is a very modest detraction. This is contemporary classic material of excellent quality. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
