Fluorite and Calcite

LOCATION:

Weishan Co., Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China

DESCRIPTION:

Sharp, translucent purple cubes of Fluorite, to 12 mm on edge, with darker purple edges, are stacked in a v-shaped stalactitic form. Honey-colored scalenohedrons of Calcite to 2 mm richly cover the reverse of the specimen. These stalactites of Fluorite are one of the few novelties in Denver, were available from only a single dealer, and are from a one-time small find. The specimen is complete all around, displays well from all sides, and is in perfect condition. I was able to select three perfect specimens from the two-flat lot for this update.

SIZE: 60 x 43 x 22 mm overall (Small Cabinet)
