Fluorite on Dolomite (M987)
China



LOCATION
Yaogangxian, Hunan, China
SIZE
79 x 44 x 43 mm
DESCRIPTION
Celebrating the 1000th specimen on the Viamineralia website I offer one specimen out of my personal Fluorite collection. The crystals are up to 21 mm on edges, they show intense purple color - which is very uncommon for Yaogangxian. Along the edges you can see razor sharp, thin, colorless zonings. The crystals are set in the center on snowy white Dolomite; the whole assemble is very aesthetic in several positions. Photos were done with minor backlight. No significant damages to report.
