Item Description

Pretty teal-blue, frosted fluorite octahedrons to 2.7 cm are nicely complimented by two glassy, parallel-growth, flattened calcite rhombs on this showy combination specimen from the famous Xianghualing Mine of China. A bit of periphery wear is noted to both the fluorites and calcites, but his remains a highly representative example of the species from this well-known locale. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock.
