Fluorite (unique color)

Item Description

An attractive and large fluorite plate showing a really unique, rich yellow-orange color, with amazing gemminess when backlit. The piece is essentially a slab of tightly intergrown cubic crystals, but please note that it does have a saw mark on the back. The cubes reach 2.0 cm on this piece. The internal color is captivating, and really makes one think of something other than a mineral when you hold it up to the light. The bit of gentle bruising is certainly a modest detraction. Unusual for sure, and a worthwhile piece to add to a fluorite suite. China never seems to run out of interesting and unusual specimens, even when it comes to common species like fluorite.
