The Xianghualing ore fields are known for producing some of the clearest Fluorites. They are usually green in colour but occasionally some super clear ones like these are found. A beautiful specimen with both colourless and clear cubes stacked together. One can see the matrix right through them.
 
Fluorite is a very popular and highly collectable mineral among collectors and esoterics. It is an extremely variable calcium fluoride mineral that can be found in all the colours of the spectrum. Pure Fluorite is colourless and the colour variations found were caused by various element inclusions. It is either found in solid masses or in a wide range of crystal forms, including cubic, octahedral to very complex structures.
