Fluorite on Quartz

Item Description

An attractive specimen from Yiwu featuring a robust, well-formed, gemmy/translucent, beautiful rich green colored octahedral crystal of Fluorite measuring 5.7 cm on edge, sitting beautifully atop white Quartz matrix. The Yiwu specimens are not commonly seen on the market these days, and showy, three-dimensional display pieces like this are certainly worth picking up if you're a fan of worldwide Fluorites or Chinese minerals. Priced at $1,500 in the inventory. From the collection of Vasco Trancoso, a medical doctor and prominent mineral collector from near Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.mindat.org/user-11954.html). He assembled his mineral collection over the course of 60 years, and built a fine worldwide display collection that we recently purchased.
