There is something truly captivating about many of the Yaogangxian Fluorites, for their sheer diversity and uniqueness. This piece is a combination of gorgeous contrast, multifaceted, zoned Fluorite with a sprinkling of scintillating Pyrite. A lovely pale blue-lavender dominates the color palette for the body of the intergrown Fluorite crystal cluster that is offset by the purple-blue rims! The Fluorites are augmented by patches of brilliant, shimmering tiny Pyrite crystals on selective crystal faces! The piece is in excellent condition complete all around, and then with contacting (attachment points, not damage) on the bottom and back where it was attached to a Fluorite matrix. This Fluorite makes a super addition of color and beauty to any collection!
