Item Description
An outstanding LARGE CABINET fluorite specimen from limited 2006 finds in Henan Province, China. These are some of the most distinctive and unique Chinese fluorite specimens that we have seen. Intergrown, sharp fluorite cubes in strange, intergrown knobs comprise this unusual piece. The translucent fluorites are brown to yellow, when front-lit, but glow golden-amber when back-lit. This is a top piece from the lot and was just uncovered from the recent move. Specimens of this size have sold for over $1000 in our auctions.
