Item Description
Almost looking at first like a Spanish Fluorite, this big and beautiful large cabinet piece is from Leiyang County, China. It features super lustrous, very pale seafoam-green Fluorite crystals with many having pale violet phantoms within, for great aesthetics. The glassy Fluorite crystals from 0.5 to 3 cm across completely cover this large cabinet specimen and there is very little bruising on this piece, even at the periphery. All of the crystals are completely transparent and all of them show minor dodecahedral modifications on some of their edges. There are well over 100 violet tinged Fluorites on this piece and their aesthetics are enhanced due to their placement on white Dolomite. It's a gorgeous and dramatic display piece. The internal phantoms are much more clear, in person! This is 1990s vintage, not found again since. Note that in different lighting, it may be more lavender or clear, depending. It looks more colorful in less light, as the phantoms show more. The video is probably most accurate.
