FluoriteFor all the Fluorites specimens that have come out of China, this a very attractive, fine quality, cabinet size presentation piece hosting sharp, WATER CLEAR to translucent, lovely green color, slightly stacked, cubic crystals (with dodecahedral modifications on the edges) measuring up to 3. 5 cm on edge. The specimen displays very nicely from several angles and just looks like a pool of liquid green in your hands. Select faces of the crystals have

No damage to the main Wavellite

It has a defined arborescent form with tendril-like branching "arms" and beautiful three-dimensional appeal

cuboctahedra of silvery Galena associated with small striated pyritohedra of golden Pyrite

so grab this piece while you can

This piece features several layered crystal groups of pleasing green Ludlamite with good luster

save a rough spot on the bottom where it detached from the matrix

Both Pyrargyrite and Miargyrite are part of the "Ruby Silver Group" and to find both species together on the same specimen is quite rare in my experience

but it also shows an interesting hollow cavity which gives the piece character and a uniqueness not often seen in single Spinel crystals

The first is the sentimental value

it's a big deal

Specimen # BOL711B59

Then you add in associated iron oxide in the form of Goethite / Hematite and you get an added layer of intrigue
