Large Fluorite (2 generations - rare 2016 find)

Item Description

Striking, colorful, very rich and sculptural large mounded fluorite from a small 2016 find at a very obscure locality in Zhejiang Province, China. The striking 360-degree specimen is composed of densely intergrown gorgeous, gemmy rich emerald-green fluorite octahedrons with silky lustre faces to a large 4.8 cm, on edge. This plate is dramatically accented with preferential secondary overgrowths of rich patches of tiny purplish-gray, frosted, stepped-growth fluorite cuboctahedrons and cubes. This remarable piece also has patches of the thick underlying layered needle quartz peering through. This is a striking, colorful, impressive, rich and sculptural large fluorite from the find. The octos remind me of outstanding emerald-green fluorites from Riemasvaak, South Africa. The emerald-green hue is even richer on this amazing piece. They octos GLOW, when backlit. Purple fluorescence. Outstanding quality and nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of interior bruising. The piece has several fine display views. Fairly valued at $1800-2000. 4.6 pounds or 2.1 kilos mass.
