Fluorite on gorgeous pink Dolomite (one-time find!)

Item Description

A beautiful, aesthetic and RARE fluorite and dolomite COLOR combination from this much less well-known Fe-Mg-Au mine in Hunan Province. These fluorites are from a pocket collected at the end of 2016. I was actually in the mine several times to see it during that process, watching carefully. Two striking, gemmy, beautiful sea-green cubes have glass-clear faces fantastically accented with stepped-growth edges. The fluorites are aesthetically set on the side of intergrown corsages of lustrous, pretty pastel-pink, curved saddle-shaped dolomite rhombs and nicely accented with sparkly drusy quartz. A truly superb combo specimen, surprising in its association, and to me one of the highlights of late 2016 in China. Purple fluorescence. Valued at $800-1000. One of only a few we had for auction. In all, I do not think 50 good pieces came from this pocket. We have never seen a color association for fluorite like this. It is amazing!
