Item Description
Gorgeous, water-clear, color-zoned, rich steel-blue, gem fluorite cubes are richly and aesthetically strewn on this very showy and fine piece from a NEW FIND at this REE mine in a less well-known Chinese province. The cubes reach 1.4 cm and the nifty barite rosettes are a RARE accessory. Some bruising and periphery wear are noted, but this remains a rich, fine and rare combination example from this new find. Modest purple fluorescence on the fluorite. Valued at $300 for richness, color and rarity.
