Item Description

A striking, sharp, 1.7 x 1.3 cm, splendent, golden cluster of intergrown chalcopyrite sphenoids dramatically dominates this rare for the famous locality combination. The well-placed chalcopyrite cluster plus the aesthetically set smaller crystals really enhance the sculptural matrix of druzy fluorite highlighted by two, glassy, transparent, color-zoned fluorite cubes, to 2.2 cm, with edge phantoms. Purple LW UV fluorite fluorescence. Combination chalcopyrite and fluorite specimens of this quality are rare from the Yaogangxian Mine. Another fine example of fluorite diversity with rare accessories from the noted locale.
