Item Description

For reference, this specimen was originally labeled as coming from the "Lenchang" or "Lencheng" Mine, but we're going with Xianghualing. If somebody knows that it's from a different locality, please let us know. The piece is filled with amazingly CLEAR / TRANSPARENT, sharp, lustrous, slightly stepped cubes of Fluorites with range from completely colorless to a soft sea-foam green color sitting on a mound of slightly milky / smoky Quartz matrix. Very good condition overall, with only superficial nicks here and there and a couple of cleaves. It's extremely difficult to represent the photos, and it just looks BETTER in person. Originally priced at $1000, but I think it could be valued higher based upon the prices we've been seeing for similar material on the market. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection.
