This unique specimen has such startling color contrast between the green and the white that it looks fake, almost. The piece features a wonderful gem green fluorite that is translucent to transparent, on which is perched smartly a doubly-terminated crystal of calcite that has been changed over to quartz! I have never seen the like from China and it seems a one-off specimen that I found in amongst a lot of fluorite with just a few other specimens showing association with quartz casts but no sharp pseudos like this one. Oh - almost forgot to mention those two internal white spots you see in the fluorite are actually 2 more small pseudos, INCLUDED INSIDE THE FLUORITE!

weight = 20 pounds This gorgeous specimen literally glows with vivid deep green color. The crystals are naturally lustrous and glassy, and GEMMY as heck. The average xls are gemmy as little ice cubes, and in size to 1.7 cm. Some are penetration-twinned in classic style. There must be hundreds of them here, making this one of the very best large display-sized specimens to come out of recent mining at this reopened old location.
