Yaogangxian is a magical place capable of producing the finest fluorite crystals in the world and this is a wonderful example of that.
A magnificent cluster composed of many blue cubes with a cubic purple zoning that follows the edges of the fluorite cubes. On the back has "caves" and some small arsenopyrite crystals with rainbows.
This crystal is UV reactive.
Yaogangxian mines have been closed for the last 3 years.
It was supposed to open this year (2026) but it is not going to open.
By now no one knows if Yaogangxian mines are going to open ever again.
High quality pieces like this one will start to be very scarce and will be a very valuable addition to any type of collection.
