Item Description

A striking, most excellent cluster of transparent, glassy, pleasing green, fluorite cubes with each larger cube having amazing boxwork inclusions from recent finds at the famed Xianghualing Mine of China. The cubes, to 3.6 x 3.6 cm, have riveting, TV-screen quality to them, looking in at the inclusions. The cubes also have excellent color-zoning. There are some dings, but the display views are only modestly impacted. This specimen has the best luster imaginable for any fluorite worldwide. This would be a $2500-3000 Gallery rock, if perfect. And even still it is a VERY impressive piece visually for its box-wihtin-box phantom effects. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
