Originally labeled as Anhui but after investigation this is a stepped cubic fluorite from Huanggang, Inner Mongolia. Looks like a crystal staircase carved in amethyst light. Often misattributed to Anhui, the terraced habit makes Huanggang pieces instantly recognizable.
All specimens include a label bearing the mineral name and origin as well as provenance label(s) for the specimen, if any.
Note: Each piece is handpicked for quality and uniqueness.
