About this specimen

Green fluorite cubes climb this Xianghuapu cluster in overlapping steps, the broadest of them flat-topped on the right with a mint-pale core that fades outward into a darker rim. Most of the faces are frosted rather than glassy, finely etched and terraced, and a grey-white druse of minute quartz crystals fills the channels between the cubes and coats the matrix below.

Xianghuapu, in Hunan, is one of the localities Chinese-mineral collectors watch for green fluorite, and this piece shows why. The pale-to-dark banding inside each cube is growth zoning: every layer took its colour from the fluid present while that face was building. The frosting came afterwards, late-stage etching that arrives when solution chemistry shifts once growth has stopped. Fluorite is Mohs 4 with perfect octahedral cleavage, and that etched skin is original to the specimen — not a flaw to be polished out.

It measures 8.9 × 5.3 × 6.9 cm and weighs 460 g. Every image shows this one cluster, which rests unaided on its matrix underside.
