About this specimen

A single tabular fluorite — pale ice-blue, softly translucent, its face clouded with white internal wisps — stands upright on a long ridge of tiny dolomite rhombs that shade from cream to dusty pink. The scale contrast is the composition: one broad crystal above, a thousand sugar-grain crystals below.

The piece comes from the Dachang mine in Nandan, Guangxi, one of China’s great tin-polymetallic deposits and a locality whose pastel carbonate crusts make ideal pedestals for later-forming fluorite. Backlighting turns the blue crystal into a window while the dolomite stays opaque and warm.

It measures 10.9 × 7.1 × 4.1 cm and weighs 156 g. The photographs show the exact specimen.
