Purple fluorite cubes with some glassy faces and some stepped-growth, frosted faces nicely complimented with parallel clusters of calcite disks make for a fine and interesting elongate specimen from the Yaogangxian Mine. A single quartz crystal is partially wrapped by the calcite crystals. A highly representative combination piece from this noted locale.
