This specimen exemplifies the best qualities, translucency and rich grape-purple color, of the fluorite mined in about 2003 from this mine in China. The fluorite grew and was covered later by a layer of quartz, which could be physically removed to expose again the underlaying fluorites now perched in translucent plates of purple and white. This large specimen features two such crystals, well-isolated, and is one of the best I have seen for sale since the original lot from whence it came. These are stunning specimens in person! 14 x 7.3 x 5.2 cm
