Fluorite (fluorescent) w/ Dolomite (Bob Reynolds Coll.) - old classic

Item Description

Striking, highly unusual and RARE large fluorite from the well-known Xianghuapu Mine, source of much of the green Chinese fluorite in recent years. Four classic gem lightly modified beautiful mint-green fluorite cubes, to 2.4 cm, cascade down the left side of the striking sculptural 3-dimensional plate. Amazingly, ALL of the many sharp fluorite octahedrons are preferentially coated with drusy bone-white dolomite! The large octo on the lower right is 5.7 cm on this impressive specimen. Dolomite is a RARE accessory from here, as MINDAT does not list the species. Purple fluorescence. Ex Bob Reynolds Collection. Bob is a well-known fossil and mineral expert and Curator of the San Bernardino County Museum. A RARE, colorful and aesthetic large fluorite combination from the locale with two dramatic fluorite crystal styles.
