Summary[edit]

Description
English: Fluorite
Locality: Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 11.3 x 9.1 x 5.2 cm
Fluorite
This fluorite cluster is 6 cm across and looks like a floating city, impaling itself on the quartz. The freestanding fluorite is complete all around the top and sides, only contacted a little on the lower backside. It is translucent, and pristine on all the faces. The sharp steppes are highlighted by a thin , intense purple phantom at all edges....mesmerizing in person! The photos do not do it justice. The unlikely assemblage of this combination piece screams"fake" but there you have it...it survived, somehow. The fluorite is perched on the quartzes, which are also totally pristine and perfect. A sprinkling of sharp brown, translucent scheelite octohedra, mixed with small bladed white calcites, overlays the rear of the quartz terminations and the valleys between the quartz and the fluorite itself. Scheelite , of course, is quite rare for this mine. In perfection , aesthetics, and color, and overall visual impact...this pocket just stands in a league of its own, I think. Nothing like it. Found in 2006
