A nice example of blue fluorite on quartz, from recent finds at the Huanggang Mine. These were first found several years ago, but it seems there was recently another pocket of this material.
This one was features a large main crystal near the center, and it seems to have multiple growths: an initial cube that was overgrown by quartz 9this is visible from he side) then a later generation of blue fluorite. The quartz layer makes the blue stand out just a little better on this piece, as opposed to solid dark inky blue.
I was able to get this lot sent directly from China, so I'm pricing these somewhat lower than what I've seen them offered for elseqhere-- especially considering the sizes of these pieces!
