Lot 87 | FLUORITE WITH FERBERITE
Valeur estimée
£ 1 000 – 1 500
From the Shangbao mine in southeastern China, this impressively large fluorite in a modified octahedral habit, is transparent and gemmy, with good luster, and complex zoning. Unlike most fluorites, its colours are not zoned concentrically, but rather appear as pyramidal phantoms scattered throughout the piece. The surface is typical of many fluorites of its habit, with some facing appearing glassy while adjacent faces have a matte texture. Sitting on a plate of lustrous jet-black ferberite crystals, coated with fine beige dolomites, which provides a nicely contrasting backdrop for the specimen.
23/4 x 3 x 3in. (7 x 8 x 8cm.)
