Item Description

The Yaogangxian Mine has been a powerhouse specimen producing locality for decades in China, yielding a large number of amazing and fine quality display specimens, including some of the most recognized Fluorites from any mine in the entire country. Here we have fantastic and showy small cabinet display specimen featuring a 3.4 cm, very well-formed, sharp, translucent, soft purple and green colored cube of Fluorite aesthetically perched atop hexagonal white Quartz crystal matrix. You can see a slight darker purple "phantom" zoning line on the very edge of the Fluorite cube if you look closely. Very minor imperfections can be seen with a loupe, but overall the piece is in great shape, and it's so showy. A superb piece of this iconic and soon to be classic material from this renowned locality. Valued $1800 From the collection of Brian Kosnar.
