Fluorite, Quartz |
Specimen # | 100802 | |
Mineral: | Fluorite, Quartz | |
Location: | Shangbao Mine, Leiyang Co., Hunan Province, China | |
Size: | 6.1 x 5.6 x 2.2 cm | |
This plate of quartz and fluorite crystals features beautiful sharp purple fluorites. The fluorite crystals are cubes, modified with dodecahedral form faces - the cube faces in particular are bright and glassy. Very attractive combination with the clear quartz - some of the fluorites are very delicate light colouration and transparent, so you have to look closely at the photos to see them all. In excellent condition, with the naked eye no damage and one small contact on a crystal along the top - with magnification, you can find a few minor chips.
The largest central crystal has an exquisite transparent interior, which you can appreciate with magnification. At the centre, there is a little three-dimensional world of quartz and fluorite crystals, all frozen inside, and towards the exterior are sharp phantom growth zones.
Great aesthetic fluorite specimen!
