Pink Fluorite on Löllingite with Microcline
Huanggang Fe-Sn Deposit, Hexigten Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China
9.2 x 11.5 x 4.5 cm (3⅝ x 4½ x 1¾ in). With acrylic and metal display stand and custom acrylic name plate.
Two lovely pastel pink fluorite octahedrons rest atop a matrix of shiny, mirror-like crystalline löllingite. The aesthetic placement of these two translucent crystals upon lustrous löllingite — along with some nicely contrasting, creamy patches of microcline — is both elegant and dramatic. Pristine and undamaged, this combination of minerals is a fantastic example of a rare association from a famous locality in Inner Mongolia, China.
