About this specimen

Held to the light this violet Yaogangxian plate turns into weather: feathery phantom textures sweep across its interior like frost on a window, pale sworls crossing deep purple zones, with one dark eye of colour concentrated near the centre. The surface itself is smooth and glassy; everything you see is happening inside.

Along one edge runs a crust of cream-white calcite, the pocket mineral that shared the cavity. Plates like this are made for backlighting — on a stand in front of a window the internal structure changes hour by hour.

It measures 6.1 × 5.1 × 4.8 cm and weighs 120 g. The photographs show the exact specimen.
