Item Description

Vivid rich steel-blue, gorgeous, water-clear, color-zoned, gem fluorite cubes are festooned on the mounded matrix plate on this beautiful and fine piece two-sided piece from the small 2013 find at this REE mine in a less well-known Chinese province. The cubes reach 1.1 cm. The cubes are preferentially covered with drusy calcite and a scattering of dogtooth calcite crystals, which are a RARE and nifty accessory. The back is totally covered with tiny dogtooth calcite crystals as a nice bonus. This is a pristine, rich, excellent and RARE combination example from this recent find. Modest rich purple fluorescence on the fluorite and orange-red on the calcite.
