Item Description
This is a fantastic full-sized cabinet piece from the famed Yaogangxian Mine featuring several GEM QUALITY, very sharp, highly lustrous, soft blue colored, cubes of Fluorite measuring up to 1.5 cm on edge sitting atop a crystallized plate of prismatic Quartz. The majority of the Fluorite crystals are damage free, but I can see some TINY imperfections in a few spots. There is a slight coating of a mossy green colored mineral on some of Quartz crystals, possibly some kind of Chlorite(?). Hard to photograph, but it's fine quality and really attractive in person. A great piece for any fan of Fluorites or display specimens from China. If this one were price for sale on the shelf at a show, I would have it around $2,000 retail. From the collection of Brian Kosnar.
