Classic for the famous Yaogangxian Mine, this specimen features an intricate, sharp Fluorite crystal to 3.6 cm across. This lustrous, gemmy Fluorite has a riveting, deep purple phantom just under the surface of an otherwise clear to light seafoam-green crystal, which makes this specimen really stand out from the crowd of Yaoganxian pieces out there. Pristine and transparent, it is an exceptional piece, and is frankly much better in person as the luster and gemminess together are hard to photograph. Excellent fluorescence.
