About this specimen
Set corner-up, this Yaogangxian cube wears its colour like a frame — deep violet banding concentrated along every edge, thinning toward a smoky, near-clear centre. Growth steps march across the front face in parallel ledges, and behind the crystal a cushion of white micaceous matrix throws the purple forward. One brassy metallic crystal perches at the upper right, no bigger than a grain of rice.
Edge-loaded colour of this kind is common in fluorite: the crystal grew outward in layers, and the layers richest in colour centres now trace the cube’s outline. Fluorite is Mohs 4 with perfect octahedral cleavage — the reason so many cubes end up with tiny bevelled corners — so store it where nothing can knock the edges.
Small and neat at 3.0 × 2.8 × 2.3 cm and 26 g, set with putty on the clear acrylic cube in the photographs. Those photographs show this crystal, not a representative sample.
