Specimen is very light blue...does not show well in photo.
OKA-539 Fluorite/ Calcite Xiang Fang Mine, Hunan, China. 7 x 5 cm grouping of large (to 3.5 cm) frosted blue octahedrons. Numerous white/clear nailhead calcites to 2 cm stand up nicely on the surface. Some of these calcites have been roughed up on their edges.

OKD-491 Fluorite Chashan Mine, near Chenzhou, Hunan Prov., China. These are the new fluorites that were all over at Tucson this year. Very expensive and almost always in huge cubes and big groupings far too big for the average collector. Most also badly damaged. This is one of only two I could find in cabinet sized pieces (strange to have to look for SMALL specimens). 8 x 6 x 4 cm with cubes to 3.5 cm on edge. Gem clear crystals with a nice light green cast. Cubes have minor dodec. modifications. One small cube near edge has a dinged corner. A fantastic value at only 155$
