Fluorite cluster — pale green‑grey with orange patches, Xianghualing, 176 g

Description

This is a hand‑sized Fluorite cluster showing translucent to semi‑transparent pale green–grey crystals forming a closely intergrown, chunky surface. Scattered orange to honey‑coloured patches add warm contrast across the crystal faces, and the piece has a compact, irregular overall shape. The specimen measures 7.5 × 5 × 5.5 cm and weighs 176 g. Edges and base are rough and natural; the cluster presents as a compact mass of intergrown crystals rather than separated individual crystals. Fluorite is calcium fluoride (CaF2) and commonly forms cubic crystals; specimens from Xianghualing are known among collectors for varied colouration. UV response varies between specimens and is not indicated here.
