Item Description
An impressive and RARE large mounded cluster of fluorite octahedrons from the famous Xianghuapu Mine. Most fluorites from here are cubes. The striking large very glassy and translucent octos, to 7.2 cm on edge, have beautiful rich grass-green exteriors surrounding lighter green interiors with frosted and stepped-growth faces. A dramatic, rare and colorful large 360-degree specimen with only moderate basal periphery wear and multiple display views. Rich purple fluorescence. Specimens of this size, crystal style quality and color are rare and are seldom on the market. Valued at $1500. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
