Item Description

Here we have a very showy and highly displayable Fluorite from the famous Yaogangxian Mine featuring a pair of light sky blue color, sharp, lustrous, highly aesthetic, "tumbling dice"-like cubic crystals of Fluorite sitting atop a plate of grey-white color Quartz crystal matrix with additional smaller Fluorites and minor Chalcopyrite and Ferberite. The largest Fluorite crystals measure up to 2.2 cm, and are actually much gemmier (nearly water clear) in person. The elegant visual appeal of the piece makes for a stunning cabinet size display specimen. These specimens used to be fairly common on the market, but have since dried up, leaving very little left for collectors, so don't pass this one up for a great price. This one was valued at $1,750 in the inventory.
