Fluorite on Muscovite with Quartz (Ref: 6.2-568)
Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou Pref., Hunan Province, China
104mm x 64mm x 58mm
minID: F8Y-EFK
A choice old Yaogangxian specimen with fantastic contrast. Purple phantom Fluorites in a cluster set like jewels on matrix, the largest crystal about 2.5 CM diameter. Transparent to translucent Fluorites with a glassy to waxy luster, these look fine from just about any angle. In fine condition overall, by naked eye there is no visible damage, just some minor rough spots. With a good loupe some small bruises are seen, this is not distracting and is lost in the bigger context. The color ranges from the "grape purple" phantoms to a lighter violet-blue in the crystal bodies, glows great if backlit. This is 2006 vintage, from the "golden years" for Fluorites at Yaogangxian.
