About this specimen
Look into the two lilac cubes that make up this Yaogangxian miniature and you find squared-off darker cores hanging inside them — phantoms, the outlines of the crystals as they stood earlier in their lives, preserved in deep violet and then buried under later, paler growth. The outer faces are stepped rather than flat, each ledge catching light along its edge, and the pair is translucent enough to read like frosted glass.
Fluorite (CaF2) grows in cubes and stops growing readily; when the fluid feeding it changes and later returns, the old surface is sealed in, and the colour banding visible here is that record. Mohs 4 with perfect octahedral cleavage means the corners are the vulnerable part, so lift it by the body rather than an edge. Yaogangxian in Hunan is better known for its greens — lavender crystals with violet cores are a quieter part of the same output.
A compact 3.3 × 2.0 × 2.5 cm and 20 g, putty-mounted on the pale bevelled display block in the photographs, and it is the very crystal pictured.
