About this specimen

Hold this one up to a window and the interior lights up. A pale lilac fluorite cube, water-clear across much of its bulk, carries faces built from shallow terraces that step inward toward the centre like a flight of very small stairs. Thin films inside flash faint rainbows, pinks and greens sliding across as the angle shifts. A second cube sits behind the first, and a third violet fragment shows at the edge of the pale, crumbly matrix.

Those terraced faces record interrupted growth: layer after layer of CaF2 laid down slightly short of the one beneath, leaving a stepped, part-etched surface instead of a mirror-flat plane. Nothing has been ground or polished here—the steps are the crystal’s own account of how it grew. Fluorite is soft, and those terrace edges are the first thing a careless grip will dull, so lift the piece by its matrix.

Thumbnail scale at 3.3 × 2.8 × 2.3 cm and 31 g, sized for a perky box or a case shelf, supplied without a stand. The photographs were taken of this exact crystal and no other.
