Yaogangxian Fluorite for Sale — 4
Curated by Maggie Liu · 121 specimens available
The Yaogangxian Mine in Yizhang County, Chenzhou, Hunan Province is the modern benchmark for collector fluorite: since the late 1990s it has produced gem-transparent cubes in purples, greens, blues and porcelain whites, often perched on quartz needles or paired with arsenopyrite and muscovite. What sets Yaogangxian pieces apart is the combination of glassy transparency, sharp cubic form, and phantom color zoning inside a single crystal — qualities that only a small share of the mine’s output ever shows together.
