About this specimen

A single misty cube holds the summit of this Yaogangxian specimen — blue-lavender fog inside, edges traced in deeper violet where the final growth zone deposited its purple. Below it the matrix turns rugged: near-black ore minerals threaded with pale crust, sheltering a handful of smaller lavender cubes in its hollows.

Softly zoned crystals like this one shift with the weather — overcast light emphasises the mist, direct light wakes up the purple rim — and the dark, unruly matrix keeps the composition anchored. A characterful pocket piece rather than a polished showpiece.

It measures 7.9 × 7.1 × 4.6 cm and weighs 326 g. From the Yaogangxian mine, Chenzhou, Hunan. The photographs show the exact specimen.
