Item Description
Fluorite stalactites are uncommon from any locale. This striking and sculptural large piece is from the famous Yaogangxian Mine and consists of multiple intergrown clusters of stacked, intergrown, lustrous, lightly frosted transparent to translucent gray cubes to 7 mm. Complete all-around and in great shape. The tip was contacted against the vug ceiling and there's just a bit of periphery wear. A most impressive, large and uncommon 360-degree piece. Moderate purple fluorescence.
