A fine specimen of glassy, transparent, color-zoned, purple fluorite cubes aesthetically set in the front of a diverging cluster of glassy quartz crystals. The green chlorite is a nice accent to this fine piece from recent finds at the Yaogangxian Mine of China. The fluorites are pristine, as our most of the terminations of the quartz crystals. Classic, highly representative purple fluorite from this locale.
