CHFLO2-71
Fluorite and Quartz on Dolomite
Shangbao, Hunan Province, China
Small Cabinet, 6.0 x 5.8 x 4.0 cm
SOLD
One of the few purple fluorites to ever come out of Shangbao, it seems, this is even more rarified'one of the few purples to come out in the end-2008 dolomite finds. Most of the crystals associated with the dolomite in a series of several pockets were light blues and pastel greens, with a few pinks. This features a sharply phantomed purple crystal about 2 cm across, with others, in a pristine floater cluster with quartz and sparkling pyrite. Overall, a striking combo and quite unique for the locality.
