A striking and beautiful fluorite specimen from a small, one-time find at the Shangbao Mine about 3-4 years ago. The gemmy, water-clear, sea-green fluorite cubes to 3.5 cm have these incredible, inclusions of vivid purple fluorite oriented in the corners of the large cubes at the top of the specimen.
