A stunning and bright, open green color signifies that this fluorite is from a large pocket of early 2021, at the famous Yaogangxian Mine of China. It has a very high level of translucency and transparency, which makes it stand out from others. The calcite at the bottom also somewhat in-grows into the fluorite — or rather the fluorite formed over an existing bed of calcite. The effect is beautiful, like a calcite garden within. The luster is good, but it is really all about the color… the strongest pastel green you can ask for, although not tree-green in color as are most others.

Calcite from Yaogangxian Mine, China
from the Yaogangxian Mine is not merely an accessory carbonate on famous Chinese fluorites; at its best it is one of the visual signatures of the locality. Collectors most often encounter it as crisp white to pale pink “poker-chip” aggregates, bladed rosettes, stacked pagoda-like sprays, steep scalenohedra, or flattened rhombohedral groups perched on fluorite, quartz, ferberite, scheelite, muscovite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and other Yaogangxian species. The appeal lies in contrast: delicate, pearly calcite set against glassy purple or blue-green fluorite; pink manganese-bearing calcite on sparkling quartz; or a single water-clear calcite twin rising from metallic black ferberite.
