Item Description
Striking, sharp, bi-colored, gemmy and lustrous, stepped-growth cuboctahedrons with satin luster faces richly and dramatically cover the large matrix. This is an impressive and large fluorite specimen from a NEW FIND at an obscure Fujian Province locale. The water-clear, very glassy compound crystals, to 2.8 cm, are mostly a pretty light green accented with hints of purple. The crystals spill over onto the back of the sculptural boxwork matrix, as a bonus. Faint purple fluorescence. This is striking, unusual fluorite from this new find. The diversity of Chinese fluorite styles and colors continually amazes!
