Fluorite with Dolomite
specimen number:
9507073
location:
Ke Ping, Akesu, Xinjiang, China
description: The Ke Ping region (Keping County) in Aksu, Xinjiang, China, is situated along the northwestern margin of the Tarim Basin and features a geological history spanning extensive Paleozoic sedimentary evolution. The area is structurally characterized by the Kepingtage tectonic uplift, exposing a well-preserved stratigraphic sequence of marine carbonates, clastic rocks, and prominent red-bed formations shaped by prolonged tectonic compression, faulting, and surface wind erosion. Recent finds here have produced wonderful specimens of fluorite with dolomite.
A cluster of stepped lustrous mostly gemmy purple cubic fluorite crystals, the entire cluster 3.2 cm across, set perfectly up on a white dolomite crystal matrix. Great color contrast, in excellent condition.
Size: 5.0 x 5.0 x 2.5 cm (miniature)
