These are some of the most distinctive and unique Chinese Fluorite specimens that I have seen. They have a very interesting color which in reflected light shows a golden-yellow hue, but with transmitted light, one can see a brighter/richer yellow color and small patches of purple as well. Upon close inspection, one can see the piece is filled with sharp, distinct, gem quality cubic crystals to create a very attractive "mound." The crystals actually appear to be completely water clear in areas. This is certainly uncommon for Fluorite, and really stands out amongst the wide variety of Chinese Fluorites that have come out over the last 10-12 years.
