Huge Purple Cubic FLUORITE Crystals on matrix - Height: 145 mm - Width: 75 mm- 556 g

Fluorite – Yaogangxian Mine, Hunan Province, China This striking specimen features a dense cluster of transparent to translucent fluorite crystals in a rich purple hue, characteristic of the famed Yaogangxian Mine. The crystals display sharp cubic formations with subtle zoning and a beautiful luster, highlighting their natural geometry and vibrant color. A closer look reveals delicate surface textures and stepped growth patterns, adding depth and visual interest. The matrix offers a solid base with natural contrast, accentuating the vivid purple fluorite crystals. Specimens from Yaogangxian are highly regarded for their crystallographic quality and clarity. This piece is a fine example, ideal for collectors seeking aesthetic appeal and locality significance. This specimen comes from a reputable source and has not been altered or treated in any way—what you see is its natural form. The photos are taken under daylight-equivalent LED lighting to show the specimen as accurately as possible. Please note: some colors can be difficult to capture accurately in photographs. I do my best to present the specimen faithfully. All items are professionally packed and shipped with tracking. I have many years of experience in international mineral sales and strive to provide accurate descriptions and high-quality service. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I'm happy to help.
