Item Description
Gorgeous, water-clear, rich steel-blue, gem fluorite cubes are festooned on large matrix on this very showy and fine piece from a NEW FIND at this REE mine in a less well-known Chinese province. The cubes reach 1.6 cm and the preferential drusy quartz coatings are a nifty accent. The interior fluorite field is pristine and the noted periphery wear is a modest detraction. This is a rich and very fine large example from this new find and is the largest piece from small lot we obtained. Valued at $500-600 for quality, size, color and rarity. Purple fluorescence.
