FRC07A Fluorite wth Calcite on Quartz
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou, Hunan Prov., China
6.1x 5.3x 5.3 cm
$680

A nice example of what has come to be referred to as “porcelain fluorite,” perhaps because of the light blue, translucent appearance imparted by cloudy inclusions. This one has a cubic aggregate with the typical color, outlined by a thin purple zone, all on a quartz matrix.  The main crystal is flanked by a group of very lightly pink calcites, adding a nice bit of spatial balance and chromatic contrast.
