Item Description

This remote Chinese locality has recently become a prolific producer of new material. Limpid, colorless, cuboctahedral fluorite crystals to 2.5 cm have interesting beveled corners. Most of the crystal faces are lightly etched, but some are water-clear. The sparkly, splendent sculptural matrix is bladed arsenopyrite and preferentiall coatings of green chlorite are scattered about. The presentation faces of the fluorites are in great shape. Showy and excellent combination material from a NEW FIND. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
