Fluorite, Calcite

The ArkenstoneFeatured
Fluorite with calcite, 19 cm, from a single pocket that produced only three known specimens around 2006, at the Yaogangxian mine, Chenzhou district, Hunan Province, China. I missed this specimen at the source, but ended up obtaining it along with the other two over the last decade. This is my favorite Chinese mineral specimen, period. Photo by Beth Van Allen.
