Item Description

Scintillating quartz points totally cover the pretty mint-green fluorite octahedrons and massive quartz matrix on this striking, sculptural large combination plate from recent finds at the Xiefang Mine. Most such combos have the fluorites uncoated, so this is an uncommon example. Bright purple fluorescence under the quartz.
