Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fluorite, Quartz
Locality: Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 6.0 x 5.6 x 3.8 cm
Fluorite with Quartz
This specimen leaps out at you for the sharp geometry and the intense purple phantom. It is of a quality unique in my experience for the phantom effect, from this mine. From any mine. It is absolutely pricey, no questio about it...but I cannot recall the last time a fluorite in this size range impressed me so much as so unique a critter. The crystal is 5.2 x 4 x 3 cm in size, and attached to a pristine quartz crystal that is, itself, phantomed. The edges are really, except on the closest inspection, razor sharp (the fluorite is pristine except for the very most trivial of edge wear on two spots, and a natural , shallow contact in the upper-left corner). The quartz tip is glassy and water-clear, totally pristine. The internal phantom is sharper in person than it appears here, and if anything more grape-jelly colored than appears here in our un-retouched photos. I find it amazing that the two species, side by side, should both show phantoms - and the stark contrast is visually appealing, obviously. The piece can be displayed any number of ways, as a bonus. To me, when I bought this collection, this piece was the star standout because it is just so dramatic, so different , than anything I had seen for the location among thousands of specimens. Others here are very, VERY choice. But this, it was unique to me. And I paid the price for this man's collection in some large part just to own it, and the other standouts here, however briefly. When you see a locality that literally has produced 10,000 fluorites and one jumps out at you this much, sometimes you (I) just have to suck it in. This piece, I think was special enough to do so.
