Item Description
What a beautiful and showy display specimen from the Xianghuapu Mine featuring very sharp, gemmy, soft green colored cubes (some of which show modifications on the corner ) of Fluorite. The cubes measure up to 3.2 cm on edge and are associated with attractive, compressed, "disc"-like crystals of white Calcite. If you look closely, you can see faint cubic "phantoms" inside some of the Fluorites. There are a few small imperfections on the display side, but the piece is in very good condition all around, and displays beautifully as you can see from the photos. Priced at $3,500 in the inventory. If you collect Fluorites or minerals of China, don't miss out on this attractive piece from this prodigious specimen producing locality. These pieces seemingly have dried up, and they will go down as some of the most iconic and beautiful display quality Fluorites from any Chinese locality.
