Description

An outstanding Rhodochrosite with Fluorite on Quartz combo from Wutong Mine, Liubao, in Cangwu County, Wuzhou, Guangxi in China. Magnificent combination specimen consisting of bladed Rhodochrosite clusters and perfect Fluorite cubes scattered on a druse of Quartz crystals growing on a little bit of matrix. Rhodochrosite displays a perfect crystal habit, pastel pink coloration and a nice, satin luster, as well as some microscopic pyrite crystals giving it a contrasting, metallic golden spark. Fluorite forms perfect cubes that accompany vastly different crystal forms of the other two minerals very well, presents extraordinary transparency which allows to display wonderful purple fantoms inside, and has a nice vitreous luster. The beautiful Quartz druse consists of hundreds upon hundreds of perfectly transparent little Quartz columns with an astonishing luster that creates a glitter like effect, making a whole specimen a real eye candy.

The specimen is in a very good condition, with some minor damage to Fluorite cubes and one ding in the Rhodochrosite cluster.
