Description

FLUORITE

Quian Ken Mine, Fujian Province, China


Complete specimen measures 9.25 x 8.6 x 5.7 inches (23.5 x 22 x 14.5 cm.). With a custom acrylic base.


A classic Chinese Fluorite exhibiting clear crystals of medium green. It has become increasingly difficult to find outstanding Chinese Fluorites as fewer and fewer specimens are being exported. The present specimen features complex, stepped growth on the faces. The main central crystal is quite clean and gemmy with the overall condition being excellent.
