A dramatic 3.5 cm crystal sits atop this matrix specimen, and it is so sharp it looks carved. The crystal is pristine and complete on the front, contacted only on the backside of the specimen. The green major crystal sits atop multihued smaller crystals that cover the matrix, and they show both purple and green depending on the angle of the light. I have NEVER seen a Yaoganxian specimen quite like this, with the not-so-subtle green phantom and the combination of gemminess and luster. It stands out amongst a huge crowd of Yaoganxian fluorites, many of which can cost considerably more money. Obtained in trade from Marshall and Charlotte Sussman, and I love it!
