Item Description
A striking and rare, CABINET, combination specimen from China. Lustrous, brass-yellow balls of intergrown pyrite crystals are aesthetically and richly scattered on the beautifully contrasting lavender fluorite crystal matrix on this sculptural, excellent and very showy two-sided specimen from recent finds at the Fengjiashan Mine. This is an unusual Chinese pyrite form, and to see them on fluorite is rare, especially on lavender fluorite! The core of the piece has white and green fluorite.
