Item Description

Absolutely limpid and beautiful, pretty green, fluorite cubes make up a superb cluster from recent finds at the famous Xianghualing Mine of China. These water-clear cubes have the spectacular "garden effect", where you can see the matrix at the back of the fluorite cubes! The striking, dominant large cube is 3.4 x 2.9 cm. All of the cubes have very nifty, frosted, beveled edges. Rotating the piece and looking into the crystals is surreal. All of the primary crystals are pristine. This is contemporary classic material of outstanding quality and was in collections of Bill Larson and Alain Martaud. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! Valued at $1000-1250.
