Description from the seller

This piece is a really, really special specimen from the fairly recent production of the Xianghualing mine. Featuring very large glassy white scalenohedral calcite crystals that appear clustered together with light green globular fluorite as a fully floating specimen that appears fully crystallized all around. Floaters of this size from China are not particularly common, even those coming from Xianghualing, despite its prolific specimen production. As such, along with the aesthetic and quality displayed by this piece, it can definitely be said that this is a one-of-a-kind specimen.
