TJL18 Fluorite
Shangbao
Pyrite mine, Leiyang Co., Hengyang Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
7.0x
3.9x 2.6 cm
$320
A perfect miniature/ small cabinet specimen from the
Shangbao mine, with an excellent, light purple fluorite crystal perched on
a quartz matrix. This mine has literally produced tons of specimens, but
believe it or not, finding one with no damage is something of a challenge.
Interestingly enough, just about all the quartz is
terminated; even those areas that look like jagged edges on the matrix are
actually natural growth.
