Sugar-Coated Green Fluorite – Quartz Overgrowth – Fujian
This unusual green fluorite from Fujian, China has a fascinating ‘sugar-coated’ texture. The surfaces of the fluorite crystals are covered by a later generation of tiny, sparkling quartz crystals, giving it a unique luster and texture. This is a great example of the interesting surface features that can be found on minerals, and would be a great addition to any collection.
