Fluorite octahedrons (fluorescent) with Quartz (Schlichter Coll.)

Item Description

Water-clear, light mint-green, fluorite octahedrons are beautifully accented with a very nifty spray of glassy quartz crystals on this showy and excellent specimen from the famous Xianghualing Mine of China. The octos are etched/lightly frosted. A few of the terminations are unetched and you can see all the way through the crystal! The striking large octo is doubly terminated and is 4.0 cm. Modest edge and periphery wear is noted, but this remains a very highly representative example of the species and noted locale. Very pretty light purple fluorescence.
