A gemmy and bright crystal of sharp cubic fluorite with mesmerizing, dispersed purple phantoms within! The crystal is nicely perched on a sparing matrix of quartz with yellow muscovite indicative of this mine. The whole crystal is transparent, with edges to 1.9 cm. The style (color, phantom aspect, and clarity together) indicates that it is from this lesser-known mine in Jiangxi, although they are often brought to market in Hunan and simply labelled as Yaogangxian. We have watched these get mislabelled for 20 years as they are sold out of the mineral market which is based in Hunan, and actually this mine should be considered more rare and desirable than YGX! Purchased by Wayne long ago and one of the few fluorites in this collection. It is a boxbuster thumbnail or, more properly, a small miniature in size class. Long in IKONS book author Wayne Thompson's personal collection of Miniatures/Thumbnails built with his daughter, Stevia, when she was young. Laszlo Kupi photo.
