Item Description

This is a huge cluster of large intergrown fluorite cubes with bevelled, modified edges The crystals are lustrous and gemmy with an eye-pleasing mint green color. The largest crystals reach 6 cm across and appear to be pristine - with the only damage at the periphera of the specimen. We have seen MANY of these and for size and overall quality, this one is really a standout compared to most (particularly when comparing photos on the web, trust me on that!). Although common in quantity, pieces of this overall calibre are simply not that easy to get in the size range (about 10 inches!) if you are picky about things like damage, transparency, and luster. This is a lovely, large example of a classic style from one of the best fluorite-producing regions in modern China. They will simply not be around forever. Valued $5000-7500. Extra shipping cost will apply due to size and weight. 6.2 pounds weight
