Item Description
Several gemmy, lustrous, purple "phantom" crystals of Fluorite are sitting on Dolomite matrix. The crystals are cubic in habit with dodecahedral modifications and measure up to 7.5 mm on edge. Good quality overall, and displays well from several angles. This mine has produced a great wealth of habits and colors of Fluorite specimens and this piece would make a great addition to a Fluorite suite, or a Chinese mineral collection.
