Post Tucson 2022
Perfect, sharp and glass-clear cubes of mint green Fluorite from the incredible finds in 2005 at Xianghuapu (Hunan, China). At that time there was so much green Fluorite coming out from this area of China that there was little notice when some especially fine pockets were found. The better pieces from that era are now much more respected and desired, the top specimens are indeed very fine. This example is that sort of perfect, undamaged and gem-clear Fluorite that has ice like stepped cubes that are absolutely transparent. This is so glassy and clear it is hard to photograph but in person it is outstanding. Although these are now getting more expensive, they remain a very good value for quality to price. There has not been new material of this sort for a few years.
