This specimen from the famed Shangbao Mine in China showcases three large, vividly saturated purple fluorite crystals with striking modifications. Perched elegantly atop a sparkling calcite matrix – some of the crystals making up which are double terminated and accented with rare golden tips – this piece offers a dramatic composition both in color and crystallography.

The fluorites are highly coveted from this limited find due to their intricate structure and vibrant hues. Subtle internal zoning reveals windows of deep blue visible beneath the purple exterior, adding depth and dimension to these crystals’ translucent beauty. Each of these fluorite crystals is nearly a full 360 degrees around with minimal contact only at the calcite base, allowing for an exceptionally sculptural presentation.

A collector-grade mineral specimen of outstanding quality and rarity, this fluorite and calcite combination is a visual standout and a valuable addition to any serious collection.
