Item Description

PLEASE NOTE: The color in this specimen is a bit washed out in the video and the green color is more evident in person. With that said, here we have a beautiful and aesthetic association specimen from the famous Xianghualing Mine featuring a 4.0 cm beautiful tabular, translucent, off-white colored Calcite crystals flaring off of fine quality, VERY gemmy, glassy, rich green colored crystals Fluorite, the largest measuring up to 2.2 cm on edge. The Fluorites are primarily cubic in habit, but they also feature thin dodecahedral modifications on the edges. The Calcite crystal is in good shape on the top, but it's cleaved around the bottom edge where it was separated from the pocket wall. Still a showy and eye-catching example of these classic and iconic specimens from this well-known Chinese mine.
