Item Description
A very unusual cluster of fluorites from this mine, with sharp, gemmy, pastel green octohedra to 2 inches across on edge! The piece is entirely translucent, eerily so when backlit a bit, and complete all around. The sharp symmetry draws the eye to the pagodalike clsutre of crystals atop. From the Ed David collection, which had a great representational suite of Chinese fluorites up til the time of sale. Valued $2000-2500
