Item Description

A 3.0 cm, water-clear, pastel-green, fluorite cube with etched corners nicely sprinkled with pyrite microcrystals is jauntily attached to the side of a plate of very glassy, transparent, colorless, pokerchip-style calcite crystals. A few broken and bruised calcite crystals are noted, but are very minimal detraction to such rich coverage. Excellent combination material from the well-known Xianghualing Mine of China.
