Fluorite

Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Huanggang Mine, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China (Peoples Republic)
Class: 
Crystal Group/Cluster
Size Range: 
Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
4.5 × 3 × 2.5 cm
Description

 Buy any two fluorite specimens from this auction and I will add a third British fluorite of similar size, and different locality, free of charge. 

Octahedral fluorite crystals up to 2.2 cm on an edge with a pleasing deep purple colour. Specimens from this mine have come to the market relatively recently and are much sought after. These octahedral crystals are less commom that the normal from the locality and are consequently quite expensive on dealer sites. I recently acquired this specimen that I am offering at a sensable starting price.
