Item Description
From a pocket found in 2007. It is a good Fluorite featuring a few zoned, multicolored cuboctahedral Fluorites sitting on white Quartz crystals on minor matrix. The Fluorites, which measure up to 4.0 cm across, are predominantly green, but internally, one can see purple and blue cubic "phantoms". Very good condition overall, and somewhat difficult to photograph. I think it looks better in person, and is a great hand-size display specimen of Chinese Fluorite. Despite the amount of Chinese specimens on the market, it's amazing how many GOOD pieces there are!
