Item Description
Very pretty, intergrown, translucent, bottle-green, fluorite octahedrons are aestheticaly strewn on the purple fluorite matrix on this very showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at the famous Xianghualing Mine of China. The octos have moderately lustrous, lightly frosted faces. The striking large crystal is 3.7 cm tall. There are even a couple of calcite disks scattered about. A bit of trivial bruising is noted on the octahedrons, but is certainly nothing to detraction. Combination fluorites of this varietal were never common and this is a good one. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
