Item Description

A fine quality and eye-catching piece from a 2020 discovery at this prolific Chinese mine featuring a scattering of sharp, lustrous, very gemmy, well-formed, textbook cubic crystals of Fluorite measuring up to 1.0 cm on edge, which show defined "phantom" zoning with alternating purple and pale golden / colorless zones, sitting on Quartz matrix. Certain Fluorite faces have a light dusting of metallic Pyrite for a nice touch. Very little damage, and dazzling for the locality, which has produced a wide range of Fluorites in multiple colors and styles.
