Item Description
Gorgeous, water-clear, color-zoned, rich steel-blue, gem fluorite cubes are aesthetically strewn on the large matrix of this very showy and fine piece from a NEW FIND at this REE mine in a less well-known Chinese province. The cubes reach 1.5 cm and some faces are preferentially coated. Some bruising and periphery wear are noted, but this remains a rich, fine and rare combination example from this new find. Modest purple fluorescence on the fluorite. The piece displays well without aid. Valued at $400 for richness, color and rarity.
