JH18018 Fluoborite In Red Calcite, Xianghualing, China
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:55646153 |
Up for bid is a New Find from the Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic ore field in the Hunan Province of China. This specimen has White fluorescing Fluoborite Micro-Crystals on a matrix of Red fluorescing Calcite. The identification of the Fluoborite has been confirmed by X-ray Diffraction. The Fluoborite may look like massive material, but if you look at the close ups, you will see it is made up of individual micro-crystals. I think there are also some Wollastonite veins but the Orange-Yello...w of the Wollastonite is drowned out by the Calcite. This was collected from an unnamed mine or prospect about 100 meters from the Xianghualing Mine (Hsianghualing Mine). Mindat shows 11 separate mines in the Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic ore field but the closest one listed is 1.8 km away.
