Description

De'an Mine, Wushan, Jiangxi Province, China (Peoples Republic)
Size Range: 
Cabinet (10-18 cm)
Size: 
11.5 × 6.1 × 4.3 cm
Description

Typically for the locality, but on much higher quality as usually seen. The crystals show darker and more intense colour. Assemble is excellent and the contrast is fine as well. There is dark purple zoning along the edges and intense green to cyan colour in the center. The crystals are up to 14mm on edges. Although there was much quantity in early years of 2000, this material became more and more rare during the last years - and as always, really good ones never were common. Undamaged.
