7625:
Fluorite and Muscovite - $20   Reduced to $18
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
5.2 x 3.3 x 3.1 cm (2.0 x 1.3 x 1.2 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A cluster of mostly transparent fluorite cubes to 2.1 cm along the edge. Color depends on the lighting: light blue under daylight fluorescent (used for the photos), or more purple under halogen light. Regardless of light source, purple cores are evident. The top is crowned with a small ball of muscovite. A sandy matrix coats the back, and is partially included in the fluorites. Scattered edgewear is noted.




7628:
Fluorite and Quartz - $6   Reduced to $5
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
4.9 x 3.7 x 2.8 cm (1.9 x 1.5 x 1.1 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A cluster of light blue (under daylight fluorescent light) or light purple (under halogen light), mostly transparent fluorite cubes on quartz matrix. The fluorites have a thin dark zone at the surfaces, and are much lighter beneath this.




7629:
Quartz, Dolomite, and Fluorite - $12   Reduced to $10
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
6.7 x 4.0 x 3.7 cm (2.6 x 1.6 x 1.5 inches)
Specimen status: Reserved     Click here to order

A sugary dolomite crust covers all but the tips of several transparent and well-terminated quartz crystals. The largest quartz rises 2.3 cm above the muscovite matrix. Also present is a string of mostly transparent fluorites to about 6 mm. The termination of the largest quartz as well as most of the fluorites are chipped.







7633:
Fluorite, Quartz, and Arsenopyrite - $12   Reduced to $10
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
8.1 x 5.4 x 4.0 cm (3.2 x 2.1 x 1.6 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A complete and translucent quartz crystal hosts a 3.3 cm, mostly transparent and glassy fluorite cluster. Two of the quartz faces are covered by partial blankets of tiny purple fluorite cubes. The quartz termination is a bit rough, having been interrupted by another quartz crystal. The fluorites are light blue-green under daylight fluorescent light (used for the photos), and nearly colorless under halogen light. A few small, bright arsenopyrite crystals are also present.







7634:
Fluorite and Muscovite
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
8.0 x 5.5 x 3.1 cm (3.1 x 2.2 x 1.2 inches)
Specimen status: Sold

Deep purple fluorite cubes to 1.2 cm on a crusty muscovite carpet, all on matrix. The fluorites are mostly clear, revealing their muscovite inclusions. A minor amount of an unidentified green mineral (chamosite?) also present. Some edgewear to the fluorites, mostly around the edges of the specimen.




7636:
Quartz - $12   Reduced to $10
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
8.4 x 7.4 x 5.2 cm (3.3 x 2.9 x 2.0 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A cluster of complexly crystalline, mostly translucent quartz crystals. The largest distinct crystal is 8.4 cm in length, with two nearly perfect terminations.




7637:
Fluorite and Quartz - $20   Reduced to $18
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
6.0 x 4.9 x 4.6 cm (2.4 x 1.9 x 1.8 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A mostly translucent fluorite appears to be leaning on a terminated quartz point. The fluorite is cleaved and contacted along the back where removed from matrix, but the quartz 'leg' is complete, with a good termination partially buried in the fluorite. Like many other fluorites, the color of this piece depends on the light source: light sky blue under daylight fluorescents (used for the photos), versus nearly colorless under halogen light. Regardless of the light source, a light purple core is present.




7638:
Fluorite - $24   Reduced to $21
Yaogangxian Mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China
5.4 x 5.0 x 3.5 cm (2.1 x 2.0 x 1.4 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A cluster of intergrown but glassy and mostly transparent fluorite cubes that reach 2.4 cm along the edges. The color is dependent upon the light source: pale olive green with mottled purple under daylight fluorescent light (used for the photos) versus nearly colorless under halogen light. Minor muscovite also present. The usual cleaves along the back, with a few small chips along the bottom front; the display face is in good condition.







7832:
Fluorite - $40   Reduced to $23
Chumar Bakhoor, Gilgit, Northern Areas, Pakistan
7.8 x 7.0 x 4.5 cm (3.1 x 2.8 x 1.8 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A chunk of fluorite with a few cleavage faces, but no real crystal faces. Excellent minty-green color under fluorescent lighting (used for the photos). A very large chunk for the locality.




7835:
Fluorite - $25   Reduced to $22
Chumar Bakhoor, Gilgit District, Northern Areas, Pakistan
3.2 x 3.0 x 1.8 cm (1.3 x 1.2 x 0.7 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

A colorless and mostly complete fluorite octahedral crystal with frosted faces and icy transparency. Has hints of pink and green against a white background. Some muscovite inclusions. Contacted and cleaved along the base where removed from matrix, but the pyramidal termination is in very good condition.




7841:
Fluorite - $25   Reduced to $22
Chumar Bakhoor, Gilgit District, Northern Areas, Pakistan
3.5 x 2.8 x 2.2 cm (1.4 x 1.1 x 0.9 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

Two intergrown, colorless, transparent and frosty fluorite octahedra with a bit of muscovite. The terminations are undamaged and flat, due to cubic modifications. Scattered edgewear but no cleaves or contact points, so this is a floater.




7843:
Fluorite - $25   Reduced to $22
Chumar Bakhoor, Gilgit District, Northern Areas, Pakistan
3.3 x 2.4 x 2.0 cm (1.3 x 0.9 x 0.8 inches)
Specimen status: Available     Click here to order

An icy and water clear fluorite octahedron with one complete termination. The faces and termination have many small steps. Distinct green and pink color zones are evident when viewed against a white background. The bottom of the specimen is contacted, cleaved and has some muscovite inclusions, but the termination is in very good condition.
