Description

A spectacular display of optically-clear bodied, well formed, fluorite crystal cubes with excellent luster and a bright lilac core in the middle of the cubes. The fluorite cubes have no great damage to speak of, with the occasional 'bite' on a few crystals. A staple and signature of fluorites coming out of the Yaogangxian in the early 2010s, these are getting increasingly rarer as more purple and pale purple bodied Fluorites are found in the same mine. Some minor pyrite can also be found peppered in and around the specimen.
