Mint Green Fluorite with Calcite – China
Measures approximately 1.6 × 1.3 × 1 inches and weighs 2.1 oz.
This is a rare and visually striking specimen of mint green fluorite with associated calcite from the famous Yaogangxian Mine in Hunan Province, China. The fluorite crystals exhibit a soft, translucent green hue reminiscent of clear alpine waters, and display a natural luster that enhances their aesthetic appeal. Small white calcite aggregates are perched delicately on the fluorite faces, creating a beautiful contrast in both texture and color.
Yaogangxian fluorites are celebrated for their exceptional clarity and collectible value, and this particular color is notably uncommon among specimens from this locality. The crystal surfaces are sharp and clean, with well-formed cubic growth and minimal matrix.
Perfect for advanced collectors, crystal enthusiasts, or as a unique decor piece. This raw mineral specimen also serves well for metaphysical use, including healing and meditation. Its serene coloration is said to promote emotional clarity and calm energy.
This piece comes from early material stock before mining restrictions were enforced in this area, making it increasingly hard to source. A genuine piece of mineral heritage from one of the world’s most iconic localities.
