Item Description
An impressive, uncommon style and color, large 360-degree mounded fluorite on quartz specimen from the well-known Xiefang Mine. Beautiful rich violet, translucent fluorite cuboctahedrons with stepped-growth satin lustre faces cover the colorful imposing piece. Striking worm-like clusters of frosted, translucent gray fluorite cuboctahedrons strikingly, preferentially cover all sides of the piece. The top of the mound has a beautiful warm violet GLOW, when backlit. The base of the piece reveals the unusual and dramatically sculptural core of banded quartz. The association of gray wormy fluorite on beautiful violet fluorite is RARE from here. An outstanding large example of this rare color fluorite combination from the Xiefang Mine.
