A showy and excellent pseudomorph from recent finds at the famous Xianghualing Mine of China. Snow-white, sparkly quartz after calcite scalenohedrons are richly encrusted on glassy, translucent, sea-green fluorite. A few broken pseudos show that the crystals are hollow! This is indeed, a neat revelation, highlighting the pseudomorphing process of the calcite crystals by the quartz.
