Item Description

Beautiful, water-clear, rich steel-blue, gem fluorite cubes are aesthetically stacked 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 and has nifty faint phantoms. The preferential coatings of drusy quartz or clay are striking accents. The fluorite field is in great shape, with only a dinged corner on the upper right cube. This is a rich and excellent example from this new find. Modest purple fluorescence on the fluorite. It displays well without aid. Valued at $400 for fine quality, color and rarity.
