Item Description

Striking, gem bi-colored fluorite cubes cover both sides of this impressive and rich large specimen from the famous Shangbao Mine. The very glassy, water-clear crystals are a light gray accented with beautiful purple interiors. The cubes have very interesting modified etched and frosted edges, that add pizzazz. The cubes reach 4.0 cm and the scattered clusters of bone-white dolomite rhombs are a fine accent to the thin drusy quartz matrix. The front and back are in great shape, with very few bruised crystals. Contacting on both ends has negligible impact to this very fine large specimen from the Paul Zerfass Collection # 730. Rich purple fluorescence. Older material from the 1990s finds. Fairly valued at $1500. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
