wsts FLUORITE, $50 Minimum Bid, De Ann Mine, China, 8 x 4.5 x 3 cm, Cabinet | |
Here is a cabinet sized specimen of the De Ann Fluorite. These are beautiful octahedral crystals of Fluorite with purple and green color. These are natural and have been etched out of Quartz. Remnants of the white Quartz remain. The Fluorite faces are matte luster and are frequently oiled by the Chinese. These have not been oiled. These are always backlit but this one is not thick so it is naturally backlit and glows (unless up against an opaque wall). |
