Fluorite with Calcite (GEM "ice" crystals)The Huanggang Mine has given collectors a wide array of Fluorites for brief period. Colors range from green to pink to purple and even colorless! The colorless "ice" crystals from this locality are similar to the finest from places like Dalnegorsk, Russia and Naica, Mexico. This piece features dozens of very sharp, WATER CLEAR, very well formed, colorless crystals of Fluorite which are octahedral in habit. The Fluorites are elegantly associated with

silvery “bent” crystal
