This is a LARGE and SIGNIFICANT specimen from a new find in China that has turned out very few specimens thus far. It is a plate richly piled with translucent, rich honey-colored fluorite. The surface and style of crystallization is hard to describe - the pics show it quite well. This is the big brother of a smaller specimen of this material we offered at auction awhile back, handcarried by a friend from china in his luggage. Does not seem to have hit the general retail market as yet, and who knows if it will, or how much there is. For now, we have only been able to get a very few pieces. It is GORGEOUS material! 23.8 x 17.7 x 7.6 cm
