About this specimen

This is fluorite that forgot how to be a cube. The whole 15-centimetre face is a run of fat overlapping domes, each skinned in a matte frost the colour of woodsmoke, with amber and old gold glowing up from underneath wherever that crust thins. Pyrite is scattered over it in tiny sharp points — silver-gold on the left-hand lobes, oxidised to rust-orange along the right.

Botryoidal fluorite forms when CaF2 precipitates in rapid layers onto an already curved surface instead of building outward from a single seed. The result is mammillary rather than crystalline, closer in growth style to a chalcedony than to the sharp cubes the species is known for. Because that texture is the entire point of the piece, resist wet cleaning: fluorite is only Mohs 4 and scrubbing burnishes a matte crust for good.

At 15.2 × 10.2 × 7.6 cm and 1486 g — a shade under 1.5 kg — it fills a palm and wants shelf space, not a drawer. No base is fitted; the flat underside holds it steady. The piece photographed here is the one that ships.
