About this specimen

Ranks of small ink-violet cubes step across the face of this Guizhou piece, each a sharp glassy box only a few millimetres on edge, packed so tightly that the deepest of them read almost black at the centre. Cream-white bladed crystals fan out over and between the ranks, and the whole growth sits on a base of pale lilac fluorite that lights up along its broken edges.

Guizhou fluorite often comes this way: a pale, massive underlayer overgrown by a later, far more saturated generation of cubes. The colour is caused by defects in the crystal lattice rather than by any added element, which is how one specimen can carry both a near-white body and a violet skin. Fluorite (CaF2) cleaves perfectly on the octahedron, so a knock to an exposed cube corner will chip it — give it a spot where it will not be nudged.

At 60 g this is a comfortable one-hand miniature, best angled so the cube-covered face tips toward the viewer. Mounted on a white putty pad over a clear acrylic block; what you see photographed is the specimen you will receive.
