Item Description

The Huanggang Mine has given collectors a wide array of Fluorites in a brief period of time. Colors range from green to pink to purple and even colorless! The colorless "ice" crystals from this locality are similar to the finest from places like Dal'negorsk, Russia and Naica, Mexico. This piece features a pair of sharp, WATER CLEAR, highly modified colorless crystals of Fluorite which are elegantly sitting atop bladed off-white Calcite and dark green colored Hedenbergite. One rarely sees such fine quality examples of GEM QUALITY Fluorites like this! The largest crystal measures 3.1 cm and is pristine. Outstanding quality, aesthetics, and form make this a desirable and worthwhile small cabinet of this beautiful material from this contemporary locality. Valued at $1,800 in the inventory.
