Item Description

A classic association specimen from Shangbao featuring a pair of VERY gemmy, sharp, lustrous rich green and purple fluorite crystals sitting on a matrix of pearly cream-colored Dolomite on matrix. These fine quality Fluorites crystals show beautiful internal "swirling" color patterns with smooth broad cube and octahedral faces with small stepped modifying faces on the corners. The piece is in excellent shape all the way around and would make a great addition to a miniature collection, a Fluorite suite or a Chinese mineral collection. The largest Fluorite measures 2.4 cm. No damage that I can see with the naked eye. PLEASE NOTE: The green color in the Fluorites looks MUCH better in sunlight, and it doesn't look nearly as attractive in indoor lighting. Valued at $2,400. The piece comes with a FREE lucite base for easy display.
