About Xianghuapu Mineextended article
Xianghuapu Mine — Hunan's quieter fluorite source
The Xianghuapu Mine in Hunan Province is a smaller-output fluorite and scheelite producer — easily confused by name with the far larger Xianghualing ore field, but a distinct locality with its own material.
What Xianghuapu is known for
- Apple-green fluorite clusters
- Fluorite penetration twins
Typical specimen style
Fresh green color and twinned cubic forms; output is limited, so pieces appear in small numbers rather than steady supply.
Collector value
Low production volume makes locality-labeled Xianghuapu pieces uncommon. For the better-known neighbor, see Xianghualing Mine.
