Item Description

An aesthetic, showy and rare mounded 360-degree small cabinet combination from this famous Chinese mine. A striking and beautiful "corsage" of upright intergrown, glassy, translucent, flattened nailhead calcite rhombs, to 2.8 cm, is jauntily set atop the piece. The underlying matrix is glassy mint-green fluorite studded with sparkly quartz points. RARE for the locale clusters of pretty variably iridescent small sharp pyritohedrons are peppered next to the calcites. Pink calcite and purple fluorite fluorescence. Choice and rare combination material from the Xianghualing Mine.
