A sharp specimen of Yaogangxian fluorite with a few bonus features that become obvious as you look more closely: sharp and bright, easily seen inclusions of bismuthinite within; and a stunning zoned fluorescence under UV light (365nm shown). The crystal is gem clear, making the metallic inclusions so easily seen; and also razor sharp and fine on its own. It is 2.3 cm on edge. The fluorite is perched nicely in a next of quartz for display! This style, in this quality, is exceptionally rare.
