Fluorite (large gemmy crystals)

Item Description

Here we have an impressive, hefty, showy, aesthetic cabinet specimen from Ruyuan featuring large, beautiful green color, sharp, well-formed, very gemmy octahedral crystals of Fluorite measuring up to a whopping 8.1 c cm with a very light dusting of white Quartz on the lower portion. There is a gentle frosted effect on the surface of the Fluorite crystals, because they were one encased in Quartz, which was dissolved away to expose the Fluorite. I love how the Fluorites sit to form a very eye-catching display piece. No major damage that I can see with the naked eye, but please note that the bottom of the specimen has a saw mark, which actually allows the piece to sit easily on its own without a base or clay. From the collection of Brian Kosnar. I would value this one in the range of about $3,000-$4,000 retail.
