About this specimen
Dimensions: 5.0 × 4.0 × 3.0 cm (1.97 × 1.57 × 1.18 in); longest edge 50 mm (1.97 in).
Black wolframite blades cross and stack into a low raft, and out of that dark tangle grow fluorite cubes that run water-clear at the base into soft violet across their top faces. One larger cube sits near the centre like a keystone, two more cantilever off the right-hand end, and a pale elongated crystal juts from the left. Cream microcrystals dust the gaps between the metallic blades.
This is the Yaogangxian assemblage in miniature: a tungsten deposit whose ore minerals came up alongside gem-grade fluorite, which is why the mine keeps yielding pieces where the black and the violet share one hand specimen. Possible cassiterite and scattered brassy chalcopyrite sit among the metallics — both should be read as tentative rather than confirmed. Fluorite is Mohs 4 and cleaves octahedrally.
It weighs 120 g, with no stand included. Nothing here is a stand-in — the pictures are of this exact raft of crystals.

I was surprised with how well this was packaged. It is very much appreciated that this beautiful piece was so protected on it's journey.
Adorable little golden barite specimen! Fast shipping, packed with great care, and even came with a nice acrylic display base. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again. Thank you so much!
item arrived safely! packaged is great. The only thing i was concern of was the shipping. i had to ask what's going on with the shipment since it wasnt updated for about almost a week. Luckily the seller said it will be updated within a week. not really sure why so that really worried me. Other than that at least I got my item! but i do wish they tell you first that the item is in maybe a different warehouse or something so as a buyer I wouldn't get nervous where it went. Overall Excellent Service with Maggie! she helped me answer my questions
