JC5062. Ferberite, quartz, fluorite, dolomite. Yaoganxian mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou prefecture, China. 5.5 x 8.5 cm 190g. $150.00. A 7 cm long doubly terminated ferberite is perched on quartz crystals. A small light purple fluorite sits on the right hand termination. Dolomite lightly coats the ferberite and the quartz. The ferberite is undamaged, but does show some growth marks near the upper left, where it looks like some other crystal once rested against the ferberite. A neat specimen that shows well. |
