MINE LOCATION: Weishan REE Mine, Weishan Co., Shandong Prov., China Fluorite Minerals are a personal Favorite of mine! This particular piece was picked up at the Granda Ave Mineral Show where hundreds of vendors from all over the world showcase a massive and stunning variety of gems and minerals, most of which are Display or Museum Grade Pieces! This specimen was sourced directly from the local mineral expert who helped mine the piece in China, Donghai Jiangsu. The Most Stunning Feature of this Specimen is the Incredibly Pristine Shape & Brilliant Deep Blue Color of Each Fluorite Crystal Cube, Glass-Like Transparency & Lustre throughout the Specimen ! Every Crystal Exhibits a Perfect Complete Cubic Crystalline Structure, Except for (1x) in the Main Grouping w/ a Only Small Chip (VERY RARE!!) A Few Other Fluorite Crystals were Removed Completely upon Specimen Extraction, as well as a Shallow Layer of the Smokey Quarts Matrix at the Piece's Far Edge, which is Not as Visible when Viewing the Specimen's Main Fluorite Growths !! Specimen Houses a Couple DOZEN PERFECT Fluorite Crystals, Up to (2 cm) in Size ! Transparency is High & therefore Light Easily Penetrates Right Threw Each Crystal to the Surface of the Matrix, Despite the Dark Deep Blue Color ! The Crystals Exhibit Interesting, as well as Very Straight, Fine-Line Fractures that appear to Cut through Several of the Larger Fluorite Crystals in Parallel & Perpendicular Fashion! These Fractures do NOT Appear to Affect the Structural Integrity of the Crystals, which are All Very Stable & DON'T Wobble when Touched!!

ABOUT ME: As a Tucson Local & Avid Collector of Mineral Specimens over the past 27 years of my life, I have come to greatly admire and enjoy the 2nd Largest Gem and Mineral Show in the World which takes place every year, for several weeks, during the months of January & February. I have attended nearly ever show since 1st Grade, a Total of (15x) in my life & I wish to share my passion for unique mineral specimens with everyone, particularly those that don't get the opportunity to visit such grand event. My interest in minerals is so extensive that I dedicate part of my free time to visiting every booth and showcase spread throughout Tucson; that's (>40) Unique Shows, many of which showcase Hundreds of Vendors Individually! During this extensive 3-week escapade I always purchase far too many mineral specimens, for the simple reason that there are always so many fantastic pieces you can't find anywhere else in the world. I rummage through literally 1000s of rocks and boxes to find ONLY the Specimens with the Greatest Value, Rarity and Visual Appeal. Every single specimen we sell is carefully selected from my Favorite Vendors, sourced at the Lowest Wholesale & Keystone Prices Possible by Purchasing Large Quantities (Flats) at a time. As an Avid Enthusiast, I Do Not Rely on Profits like so many other Dealers, I Simply Enjoy Collecting & Sharing finds with other Interested Collectors at more than Affordable Costs!
