Fluorite w/ Calcite (New Find) both fluorescent

Item Description

Gorgeous, water-clear, color-zoned, rich steel-blue, gem fluorite cubes are aesthetically strewn on the mounded matrix of this very showy and fine piece from a NEW FIND at this REE mine in a less well-known Chinese province. The cubes reach 1.5 cm. The piece is richly covered with drusy calcite and the rich scattering of dogtooth calcite crystals (especially in the striking 4.0 cm vug on one side) are a RARE and nifty accessory. The cubes in the display view are pristine, except for the trivial periphery wear. This is a rich, very fine and RARE combination example from this new find. Modest purple fluorescence on the fluorite and orange-red on the calcite. Valued at $500 for richness, color and rarity.
