About this specimen

Every face of this wedge is a staircase. Cube edges step back in parallel terraces across the front of the piece, each tread only a few millimetres deep, so the surface reads as architecture rather than as one crystal. The colour is a soft lilac-white, nearer to frosted glass than to any strong hue, and the dusty white patches along the upper edges give the specimen the sugary texture it is named for.

Stepped growth like this happens when a cube face grows faster at its edges than across its centre, layer piling onto layer before any of them can close — the same mechanism that produces hopper crystals in halite. Fluorite is Mohs 4 with perfect octahedral cleavage, and on a terraced piece the step corners are the exposed points, so support it from underneath whenever you move it.

It measures 5.1 × 5.1 × 2.8 cm and weighs 70 g, a solid palm-filling wedge with no stand supplied. Shot in hand and unmounted, this is the individual specimen you are buying.
