This is a rare and aesthetic specimen featuring a transparent fluorite crystal perched on a bed of tightly packed dolomite microcrystals. The piece exhibits a beautiful contrast between the icy clarity of the fluorite and the warm beige tones of the dolomite matrix. The main fluorite crystal is well-formed with sharp edges and a nearly gem-like appearance, showcasing scattered dark inclusions—possibly galena or other sulfide micro-particles—adding unique visual interest and geological significance.

About this specimen

A single colourless fluorite sits low on a bed of cream dolomite, and it is the only transparent thing on the piece: a gemmy crystal with a hexagonal outline from this angle, its interior carrying a scatter of dark mineral specks like pepper suspended in ice. Everything around it is opaque and matte — thousands of small ivory rhombs packed shoulder to shoulder across a thin plate.

That contrast is the whole argument for the specimen. Dolomite grows as those slightly skewed, faintly curved rhombs and takes its warm cream tone from trace iron; the fluorite, arriving later in the sequence, had a clean pocket to fill and so kept its clarity. Both minerals are soft — dolomite Mohs 3.5–4, fluorite CaF2 at 4 — and the dolomite carpet in particular will bruise if the plate is slid across a shelf.

The plate runs 7.9 × 1.8 × 5.1 cm at 65 g, thin enough to lie in a drawer or lean against the back of a case. No stand appears in the photographs; the specimen shown is the one you will own.
