A fine fluorite with dolomite specimen from the Shangbao Mine of China. The sea-green fluorite cubes are attractively set on a plate nicely accented with complimentary sugary dolomite crystals and couple of quartz needles. The central fluorite cube is 3.5 cm. The two large cubes have transparent, TV-like, frontal faces and you can look right down into the green and purple color zoning in the interiors. The side faces have distinctive, frosted-look, stepped growth. The perfect, little fluorite cube on the lower left has incredible purple and green color zoning.
