About this specimen

Mint-green fluorite cubes crowd together into a domed cap that overhangs its own stalk of matrix, and the resemblance to a mushroom is hard to shake. The cubes are transparent, shelved into shallow steps along their edges, and the lilac-grey dolomite column beneath them is granular and matte — a contrast the pocket arranged without any help.

Xianghualing is a tin-polymetallic district, and its fluorite leans toward these soft greens and straw-yellows rather than the deep purples of other Hunan mines; a few tan crystals on the right rim carry that yellow note. Stepped growth like this occurs when a crystal advances faster at its edges than across its faces, leaving each cube faintly hollowed. At Mohs 4 the cap will scuff against anything harder, so pick the piece up by the matrix.

The specimen is 7.1 × 5.8 × 3.6 cm and weighs 180 g, steadied against a fingertip in the photographs to give the scale. No two of these grow alike, and the one photographed is the one that leaves the shop.
