Fluorite on Quartz$350.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
De'an Fluorite mine near Wushan in Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, China is an interesting Fluorite locality renowned for two main types of Fluorite crystals, both of which are prepared by etching away the surrounding Quartz matrix. This mine came to the attention of collectors during the early years of the 21st century when huge slabs of large pyramidal colour-zoned Fluorite crystals came to the market and then c. 2009, when very different, luscious looking, grape-purple complex modified cubo-octahedral crystals, often as isolated individuals on matrix, appeared. This fine small cabinet specimen features a single rounded, equant, translucent purple Fluorite crystal, 3 cm in diameter, sat upon the centre of a somewhat fibrous pale cream coloured Quartz matrix. A very pretty, and quite distinctive Chinese Fluorite. Ex Arvid Pasto Collection.
