Fluorite with Barite
specimen number:
9507096
location:
Jiang Jun Gou, Huairou, Beijing, China
description: Jiang Jun Gou, located in the Huairou District of Beijing, China, is a mining locality with a complex history marked by forced labor operations during World War II before being abandoned for decades, followed by renewed localized access by mineral collectors in recent years. Geologically, the site is situated within a regional framework characterized by complex metamorphic and sedimentary formations typical of the northern China craton evolution, hosting hydrothermal pocket deposits that yield notable specimens of cubic fluorite.
A beautiful example showing rich golden yellow gemmy lustrous cubic crystals of fluorite measuring to 3.3 cm on edge set up on a white crystalline barite matrix. Very minimal micro-cleaving present, this still in very good condition. The color on this one is outstanding.
