Golden Yellow Fluorite on Baryte – Jiangxi, China
Size: 3.3 × 2.2 × 0.8 in
Weight: 135g / 4.8oz
A stunning collector-grade cluster featuring sharp, golden yellow fluorite crystals growing atop a bed of baryte and matrix. This piece originates from a now-exhausted fluorite and baryte mine in Jiangxi, China — a locality that has produced only limited quantities of such high-quality material. The fluorite crystals are large, glassy, and highly lustrous, forming distinct cubic geometry with rich golden hues and excellent clarity. Under strong lighting, internal zoning and minor purple phantom growth can be seen near the base.
The presence of baryte adds both mineralogical and visual interest, contrasting beautifully with the fluorite. This specimen is an excellent choice for collectors seeking rare Chinese locality pieces or those who appreciate well-formed fluorite crystals from old mines. Suitable for both aesthetic display and connoisseur collections.
