About this specimen

Dimensions: 4.2 × 5.3 × 3.1 cm (1.65 × 2.09 × 1.22 in); longest edge 53 mm (2.09 in).

Lavender-blue fluorite forms the body of this Yaogangxian miniature, violet zoning bands drifting through its glassy mass, while snow-white calcite patches and clusters of brassy pyrite crystals decorate the upper faces — three minerals in three finishes: glass, chalk and metal.

The pyrite is the surprise: crisp little crystal groups perched exactly where a setter would have placed them, catching light against the cool fluorite. Natural, unpolished and untreated, as the pocket left it.

It weighs 150 g, sitting on the acrylic base shown. The photographs are of the exact specimen.
