Fluorite

This exceptional fluorite specimen from Zhejiang Province, China displays a well-developed cluster of sharp octahedral crystals exhibiting intense purple coloration throughout. The crystals demonstrate excellent geometric form with clean faces and edges, arranged in an aesthetically pleasing three-dimensional configuration. The crystal surfaces display a distinctive texture with moderate luster, while backlighting reveals partial translucency that enhances the depth of color. Minor white matrix material provides contrast and adds to the natural presentation of the piece. This specimen represents quality material from the Zhejiang mining district and would be a worthwhile addition to collections focused on Chinese fluorites or octahedral crystal habits.
