Fluorite coated by Quartz with Pyrite

Item Description

The Yaogangxian Mine is one of the great specimen producers in China, and has yielded a wide variety of Fluorite specimens with a great range of colors and associations. This small cabinet display speicmen features several sharp, light blue-green colored cubes measuring up to 1.3 cm on edge which are coated with small pyramidal Quartz crystals and a "dusting" of golden metallic Pyrite. The central crystals are all pristine, but there is a little roughness on a few spots around the edge of the specimen. A lovely specimen of this contemporary classic material that will go down as some of the most celebrated Fluorite from any Chinese locality. From a prominent Midwest collection that we acquired over the summer.
