Item Description

Here we have a good-looking and fine quality display specimen from the famed Ruyuan Fluorite Mine, which has produced some of the well-known green Fluorites from any mine in China. This beautiful specimen hosts gemmy, good-sized Fluorites with a glowing green hue, aesthetically sitting atop stark white crystallized Quartz matrix. The attractive, modified stepped-growth habit of these modified cubic/dodecahedral crystals creates a look that is distinctive for the locality. The largest crystal is 4.6 cm across, good-sized for the locality. The Fluorites have a rich, purple-blue fluorescence under SW UV light, and the overall aesthetics are excellent. No damage, very showy and just an iconic example of what will one day be classic material from Ruyuan.
