Item Description

From a pocket found in 2007. It is a good Fluorite featuring a purplish cuboctahedral Fluorites with minor rhombic white Dolomite. The largest Fluorite measures 1.7 cm across. Very good condition overall, and somewhat difficult to photograph. I think it looks better in person, and is a great miniature display specimen of Chinese Fluorite. Shangbao specimens are among the most beloved Fluorites from China, and the good ones are some of the most iconic Fluorites from anywhere in the world.
