specimen number:
2322027

location:
Xianghuapu Mine, Linwu Co., Hunan, China

description:

Beautiful glassy gem green cubic crystals of fluorite measuring to 2.0 cm in size aesthetic on matrix. This is in great condition. Crystallized completely all around.

The Xianghuapu Mine, located in Linwu County within Hunan Province, China, is a significant underground polymetallic mining center with a history of development tied to the region's rich metal resources. Geologically, the deposit is part of the prolific Nanling metallogenic belt, hosted in complex sedimentary and metamorphic rocks that have been extensively intruded by Mesozoic granitic magmatism. This magmatic-hydrothermal activity resulted in rich fluorite-scheelite and multi-metal mineralization, producing tungsten, tin, and bismuth ores. The mine has gained international acclaim among mineral collectors for yielding stunning, sharp cubic crystals of green fluorite often associated with accessory gangue minerals.
