This superb cabinet-sized Fluorite puts a spin on the classic transparent, green Fluorites that have garnered a lot of attention for the Xianghuapu Mine. The entire specimen is composed of sharply-formed, robust Fluorite cubes that reach up to an impressive 7.5 centimeters in length and have nicely stepped features. Along with the locality's signature sea-foam green color, the larger crystals have a heavily frosted appearance, created by thick and extremely well-defined white zoning that mainly covers the front-most crystal faces; the right side of the specimen, however, offers an unobstructed view of the Fluorite's sharp zoning and the glassy-clear interior. This specimen backlights very well and comes with a custom acrylic base.
