These fluorites came out in modest numbers for only a short time, then became scarce and expensive (see recent Min. Record China issue for more on these). It is quite hard now to find nice-looking, undamaged crystals on matrix, and the Chinese dealers value them highly. This fine, 3-dimensional, large cabinet specimen has translucent, green octahedrons to 4.5 cm with pretty purple highlights. This excellent piece is essentially damage-free.
