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 cubic, green and purple color Fluorite crystals with good luster and sharp faces. A great touch to this piece are several lovely, striated, metallic, black, bladed, doubly-terminated crystals of Ferberite at the base of the specimen along with minor Siderite and Quartz. A few minor nicks keep this from being a 4-figure display specimen, but it is still very good quality in its own right.
