Fluorite (phantom) on Muscovite etc. (Ref: 8.1-077)
Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou Pref., Hunan Province, China
73mm x 56mm x 48mm
minID: 1JU-DJ3
Perfect, with killer color, transparent Fluorite crystals aesthetically perched on a mix of smaller Fluorites and Muscovite. The luster and color zoning are exceptional, there is no damage and the main cubes show penetration twinning. This piece shows very well the quality that made the Yaogangxian Mine's reputation. The cubes have several separate phantoms and a more diffuse core color of vivid purple. An older specimen from 2008, this is quite different from more recent finds and is simply a super piece in person. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
