Item Description

A very attractive display specimen of Calcite on Fluorite from the famous Xianghualing Mine. This contemporary specimen producer has given collectors some impressive green Fluorites for several years now, but it's hard to find good association pieces like this. The piece features a 5.1 cm, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, white/colorless compressed rhombohedral crystal of Calcite that is perfectly set atop the stacked gemmy green Fluorite matrix. The piece is in great shape overall (with only the slightest bit of roughness along an edge of the Calcite), and I think looks better in person than the photos. Priced at $1750 in the inventory. The piece comes with a FREE custom lucite base.
