Summary[edit]

Description
English: Fluorite
Locality: Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 9.1 x 7.6 x 6.3 cm
Fluorite
This crystal is 3.6 x 3.5 x 2.8 cm and is, like the above specimen, so razor sharp and perfect in its symmetry that it looks fake, perhaps carved. I have seen thousands of YGX fluorites and I can tell you that this is another level, trascending even the many other expensive pieces from this mine over the years for sheer perfection. The crystal is pristine except for one single tiny ding or contct on one rear edge, but this is hard to spot in any case. The surface is glassy and lustrous, on all faces. The crystal is so transparent, with no internal flaws at all, that you can clearly see the matrix and some enclosed calcites through its entire depth. The association of a few stark white calcites, on sparkling muscovite matrix, really adds to its impact. The little daisy chain of crystals running down is more purple, and provides a bit of contrast as well. This is absolutely a pricey specimen, no question about it...but when you consider the context that in quality it represents the top 1% of 1% of a very productive mine, that has had its heyday come and go already, it really has to be a premium (and I paid a lot myself for it). I have seen a very few other specimens from this pocket (around 2005 as I recall) and they also went, quietly and out of the public eye, for huge money.
