About this specimen

Nothing about this fluorite is cubic to the eye. It is a rounded loaf the size of a large egg, and its entire surface is built from thin crystal plates laid down like overlapping roof shingles, so light breaks across it in short flat flashes instead of one clean reflection. Straw-gold at the crown, the colour deepens to smoky olive-grey around the lower third, where dark mineral specks sit just beneath the skin.

Fluorite is CaF2 and grows in the cubic system, so a form like this records what happened after growth stopped: late fluids etched and partly re-dissolved the outer faces, leaving stepped remnants of the original crystals rather than smooth cube faces. Collectors of Jiangxi fluorite look for these textural pieces precisely because no two erode alike. Mohs 4, perfect octahedral cleavage — keep harder specimens off the same shelf.

The nodule measures 7.1 × 5.6 × 3.3 cm and weighs 196 g, sized to close a hand around. It comes without a stand, and every image here shows the nodule you will receive.
