About this specimen
Glacier-pale, with only a breath of violet in the deeper shadows, this Shangbao cluster is built from cubes that grew in parallel ranks: every edge is finely stepped, so the outline breaks into small terraces wherever one crystal meets the next. Light travels a surprising distance inside them before it dims, and a faint tan iron staining settles in the recesses, which only makes the blue read cooler.
The Shangbao Mine in Hunan is the source of the blue and blue-green fluorite that collectors have chased for years, usually as cubes or cube-octahedra with exactly this kind of stepped, etched edge. Pale material like this is at its best under a strong directional lamp, which pushes the colour out of the interiors. Fluorite is Mohs 4, cleaves octahedrally and dislikes sudden temperature change, so keep it off radiators and out of ultrasonic cleaners.
The cluster measures 8.6 × 5.1 × 5.3 cm and weighs 330 g, and comes without a base. The photographs were made from this cluster and no other.
