Item Description

China keeps producing great quailty, crystallized display specimens and has provided collectors with more fine quality minerals than virtually any other country in recent memory. Here we have a very attractive crystal group of gemmy "phantom" Fluorite cubes with good luster and sharp faces. The largest Fluorite measures 3.0 cm on edge. The reverse side of the piece shows dozens of highly lustrous, very gemmy, pale lilac Fluorite cubes. The piece is associated with minor white Dolomite. Difficult to photograph, and better in person.
