Item Description
Water-clear, very glassy, colorless, fluorite cubes with intensely purple phantoms are richly scattered on matrix and are beautifully accented on one side with two clusters of glassy, quartz "towers" preferentially included with chlorite in their terminations. A trivial bit of bruising and modest periphery wear are noted, but are minor detractions. Very showy and excellent combination material from the famed Yaogangxian Mine. The largest fluorite cube is 1.2 cm. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! The super glassiness of the fluorite made photography difficult.
