Fluorite With Calcite
From the noted collection of Chinese minerals assembled by Steve Smale, this is a superb and very unusual fluorite for the location. NO DAMAGE AND COMPLETE ALL AROUND! Seldom do you get crystals so large and gemmy! Also, it has an almost neon, saturated color intensity like you seldom see. The top picture conveys it best, but even that pales in comparison to the real specimen in person. Note also the sharp internal phantoms, again rare in a Chinese fluorite of such size. The piece is a floater! It is symmetric on front and sides, and then roughly complete all around the backside where it has many microfaces formed where the fluorite grew against another mineral. This is NOT your average China fluorite!!! I recently exchanged this from the Smale collection.
