Item Description

A very rare and aesthetic combination specimen from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. Sharp, lustrous, hexagonal, molydenite plates are winningly attached to a gem, rectangular, bi-colored, light mint-green fluorite cube with a single, purple edge phantom. Slightly curved, metallic, included boulangerite hairs are clearly visible near the purple phantom. Such a combination in this very fine quality is extremely rare. Boulangerite is associated with quartz with most Yaogangxian specimens. The front of the fluorite cube is essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of edge wear by the purple phantom. You can see the boulangerite needles enclosed in the moderately fluorescent purple cube. Very nifty and unusal material.
