Fluorite on Quartz (older Chinese)
As recorded:
Xianghualing Mine, Linwu County, Chenzhou Pref., Hunan Province, China
69mm x 57mm x 44mm
Beautiful light green transparent Fluorite crystals in modified Cube-Octahedral forms perched on a matrix of Massive Fluorite and Quartz crystals. Exceptional in person, a very choice and quite unusual habit, no longer seen for sale. The Quartz has an Iron tinge and so adds a nice color contrast. Displays well from several angles. The Xianghauling mines produced just a few of this habit in 2004-5. We obtained several at the mine and sold them all long ago, including this one that has come back in a collection purchase. The mine is non producing for many years now.
No-one has added this to their favourites.
