Fluorite on Quartz

Item Description

A classic specimen of the older Fluorites from the famous De'an Mine in China. These specimens were found in the early to mid 2000s, and the style combined with the unique color and the signature matrix is very distinctive. Several bi-colored, sharp, octahedral crystals show smooth, distinct faces, characteristic of the locality. The largest crystal measures 1.5 cm across. The Fluorites feature green and purple hues, and when backlit, one can see the coloring of the crystals much better. The Fluorites have been etched out of the underlying Quartz matrix, which shows a soft white fibrous form. Soon to be classic material from this well-known locality in China.
