Item Description
Beautiful, water-clear, rich steel-blue, gem fluorite cubes are richly strewn on sculptural matrix on this very showy and fine piece from a NEW FIND at this REE mine in a less well-known Chinese province. The large cube is 1.4 cm. The fluorite field is pristine and the two large cubes have just a bit of edge wear. Still, a rich and excellent example from this new find. Modest purple fluorescence on the fluorite and the granular MATRIX with pyrite fluorescences strawberry-red! It displays well from either side.
