A highly distinctive large miniature Fluorite specimen, featuring two main dappled dark and light green octahedral Fluorite crystals sat upon a bed of prismatic Milky Quartz crystals, with a third, smaller Fluorite crystal, spanning the edges of the other two. The Fluorite crystals are translucent, and some of the darker colour appears from within. It comes from the Huanggang Fe-Sn Deposit, in a remote part of northern China. Remarkably, this deposit has produced a wide array of Fluorites in different shapes and colours. Ex Arvid Pasto collection.
