Item Description

This locality has produced some amazing examples of a handful of species, including some iconic Fluorites. A few sharp, very gemmy, light purple colored cubic crystals of Fluorite measuring up to 9 mm are sitting on prismatic, white / colorless Quartz crystal matrix. The accompanying dealer label states that Arsenopyrite, Muscovite and "Wolframite" (Ferberite) are present on the piece. I easily can see Muscovite, and I found one tiny Arsenopyrite on the back, but I can't find a crumb of "Wolframite" / Ferberite anywhere. A good reference specimen of this now classic material from one of the most important specimen producing localities in China.
