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 cubes of Fluorite up to 1.8 cm on edge, and showing purple, pale blue and pale green coloration with decent luster and very sharp faces sitting on Dolomite. The underside of the piece shows several amazingly bright, sharp, lustrous, metallic silvery colored Arsenopyrite crystals! In good shape on the display side with only a small contact near the top-back part of the specimen. Hard to photograph, better in person.
