Item Description

A striking, very sculptural, 3-dimensional, LARGE CABINET fluorite specimen from a locality that has not produced specimens in any quantity, compared to other Chinese fluorite localities. The very pretty, translucent, sea-green, modified fluorite octahedrons each have thousands of tiny micro-stepped faces that give the crystals a nifty sugary/frosted look. The periphery contacting is a modest detraction to this very impressive large fluorite specimen. The matrix is small, milky quartz crystals on massive quartz. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
