Fluorite (2 habits) w/ Quartz (Leithauser Coll.)

Item Description

Two fluorite crystal habits are dramatically perched atop this exceptional and aesthetic fluorite with quartz small cabinet from the famous Xianghualing Mine of China. A 2.0 x 2.0 x 1.5 cm, classic mint-green gemmy and lustrous fluorite cube with beveled corners is artistically set next to a striking 3.3 cm doubly terminated octahedron dramatically and preferentially covered with tiny frosted snow-white quartz spikes. Smaller coated fluorite octos and uncoated tiny cubes are super accessories to the large octo. The artistic base of more gemmy green fluorites with frosted quartz spikes enhance this superb and pristine 360-degree combination. Purple fluorescence. Ex W. Leithauser Collection of Germany and valued at $900 more than 10 years ago when it first got lost in our back warehouse here! It is certainly worth more today.
