Specimens tend to come from China in good quantity whenever a new find is made, so it is really unusual to see specimens from very small finds that produced only a few specimens. At first glance, this is SO unusual that you might not even recognize it as fluorite - and certainly not from CHINA. But that is what it is: glassy, gemmy, deep amber crystals to 1.3 cm with milky "caps" on the ends, from Fengjiashan, a locality most people have never even heard of for fluorite but well known for inesite. This is a really unusual color for fluorite, and the "caps" make it even more special.
