Xianghualing Fluorite for Sale

Curated by Maggie Liu · 16 specimens available

Xianghualing, a tin-polymetallic district in Linwu County, Hunan, is best known among fluorite collectors for its sea-green to emerald crystals — including the octahedral habit that is much scarcer at other Chinese localities. Crystals often show soft internal color gradients and can associate with cassiterite and quartz from the same ore field.

Quality at Xianghualing turns on color depth and crystal form: a saturated green octahedron with clean faces is the prize look, while paler cubic material is more common and more affordable — an excellent entry point for a first Chinese fluorite. As always with fluorite, check edges and corners for contact marks; we photograph every piece from multiple angles under 5500K calibrated light so you can judge condition directly.

Each specimen below is the exact, one-of-a-kind piece you receive, sourced through our hands-on Hunan network and individually inspected before listing.
