Best known for its incredibly glassy, pale green cubes of Fluorite, the Xianghuapu mine in Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China has also produced a few other forms of Fluorite, albeit rarely. It is hard to believe that this mine came to prominence in the very earliest years of the 21st century heralding very much the start of the flow of magnificent Fluorite specimens from China. This small cabinet-sized cluster of fairly large, purple, octahedral Fluorite crystals comes from Arvid Pasto's remarkable worldwide Fluorite collection. The Fluorite crystals show surfaces made up of tiny individual Fluorite cubes, with preferential light dusting of tiny white Quartz crystals upon which sparse small cream-coloured glassy scalenohedral Calcite crystals are also sat.
