Item Description
A striking, mounded fluorite CABINET specimen from recent Chinese finds. These incredibly clear fluorite cubes from the Chashan Mine have proven nearly impossible to photograph, due largely to their clarity. Crystals on this piece reach 2.0 cm. You cannot see that they actually have a pretty, light pastel-green color. In person, their faces are like clear windows into the perfectly transparent interiors, and they have beautiful frosted bevels on the edges. These are truly world-class fluorites, and it is telling that some dealers are stashing them away till their value is better realized.
