Glassy, clear Fluorite cubes forming intergrown pair of stalactites.  There is a small diameter opening at the base where what was once a likely Calcite/Aragonite stalactite that formed the substrate for the Fluorites to grow upon. I bought a parcel of these from a Chinese dealer who insisted they were from Yaogangxian, however they do not look like anything I've seen from Yaogangxian, and it appears it was a one time find as I have not seen these for sale since. These are yet another addition for a country that has produced so much fine Fluorite recently. An unusual piece for a Fluorite collector.
