The fluorite crystals on this very large specimen from the Shangbao Mine are so water-clear, they look like glass. Except, they have these wonderful purple blushes deep inside. They have exactly the same brightness and clarity of the best Dalnegorsk fluorite cubes. The largest crystal here measures 3 cm across the edge.
