About this specimen

A flat, palm-sized fluorite plate whose surface is a fine crystalline crust, running from milky white at the rim through the faintest pink into a clear mint-green pool at the centre, where it thins enough to pass light. Dark metallic grains sit on that surface—magnetite, rough-faced and near-black, four of them substantial and the largest a good centimetre across—scattered like drops of ink on frosted glass.

The green zone repays a slow look. Fluorite takes its colour from trace elements and defects in the lattice, and a single plate can shift hue over a few centimetres as the fluid chemistry changed; here the colour concentrates in the middle and fades outward. Magnetite (Fe3O4) is the most magnetic of all common minerals—a small magnet will pick those grains out from the fluorite around them.

Broad and shallow at 9.4 × 2.5 × 7.6 cm and 249 g, this is a plate for a flat display or a shallow easel rather than an upright stand, and none is included. The frames above show this plate alone.
