Item Description

A richly colored, sharp, very gemmy, octahedral crystal group of Fluorite from the De'an Mine in China. Dozens of crystals which range in color from rich emerald green to strong indigo blue to a royal purple hue, with smooth, distinct faces. The largest crystal measures 3.7 cm across. When backlit, one can see the coloration of the crystals much better. No matrix at all, just a huge slab of intensely colored beautiful crystallized Fluorite. The color is about as rich as I have seen from this mine, and is not a light pastel hue like many others from De'an. Good shape overall, with very little damage to speak of. A wonderful big decorator piece! Valued at $900. Please note that due to the larger size, there will be an additional shipping charge for this specimen.
