About this specimen

Violet fluorite cubes crowd across a dark, ore-rich Yaogangxian matrix in this combination piece, and each crystal carries the mine’s hallmark ghost geometry: phantoms — earlier growth stages preserved as faint cubes within cubes. Color gathers in the outermost zone, so every crystal appears edged in deep purple around a paler translucent core.

The supporting cast completes it. A patch of brassy micro-pyrite glitters gold against the violet, and a single frosted quartz prism rises from the cluster as a pale counterpoint to the dark matrix beneath. Specimens that keep this pocket context intact carry far more character than isolated crystals — this is fluorite as it actually grew in the Yaogangxian tungsten mine, Chenzhou, Hunan.

Phantom zoning rewards a small light held behind the piece: the interior cubes snap into focus and the violet rims ignite. The specimen measures 9.7 × 8.4 × 3.6 cm, weighs 370 g, and sits naturally on the included acrylic pedestal. The photos picture the exact piece on offer.
