Helvite/ Genthelvite on Quartz with Fluorite (Ref: AX-14B-107)
Huanggang Mine, Chifeng Prefecture, Hexigten Banner, Ulanhead League, Inner Mongolia Region, China
88mm x 54mm x 47mm
minID: 522-NY4
A huge somewhat crude but very sharp Helvite series crystal is nestled in a cluster of prase type Quartz. These Helvite crystals are often zoned in this locality and may contain all members of the series (Danalite, Helvite and Genthelvite) in a single prism. This one has clearly also had some secondary alterations, and some parts of the Helvite faces have been encrusted with tiny Quartz crystals. The termination has an extra touch - a purple octahedron of Fluorite perched near the tip adds contrast. No damage, the Helvite is nearly 4 CM tall which is very large from any locale and especially big for Huanggang. An early specimen (prior to 2008) from this now prolific mine. An impressive example of this locale and specie.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
