Showing the classic, extremely glassy, transparent, pale mint-green intergrown cubic Fluorite crystals (to 2.1 cm on edge) for which the early 2000s finds at Xianghualing mine were renowned, this pretty cabinet-sized display specimen is also embellished with delicate freestanding wafer-thin blades of white Calcite. Requiring a little support to stand for display, it does look really showy, with very little obvious damage to the main Fluorite, or Calcite crystals - just a couple of tiny chips to the corners of two of the Fluorite cubes. This is a nice combination piece for Chinese Fluorite. Ex Reverend Michael Keirle Collection (Jersey).
