Item Description

For all the Fluorite specimens that have come out of China, the pieces from Xianghualing are among the most impressive. This is an attractive Fluorite specimen hosting sharp, very gemmy lovely green color, cubic crystals (with dodecahedral modifications) up to 5.6 cm on edge forming a great cabinet size display piece. The specimen displays very nicely from several angles, and just looks like a pool of liquid green in your hands. Were it not for a contact on the corner of the end of the specimen, it could easily be valued at $2000 retail. Lastly, it must be noted that the color of these crystals really stands out under fluorescent lighting as opposed to incandescent lighting, but the piece truly must be seen in person to appreciate it gemminess and elegant beauty.
