About this specimen

Purple this deep stops behaving like a colour and starts behaving like a shadow. The cubes crowded across this Chinese plate read almost black until light arrives from the side, when their corners kindle violet and the smaller crystals resolve into a clear amethyst tone. Most are straightforward cubes with bevelled corners, packed face to face over the whole front, with pale cream crusts of the earlier matrix filling the gaps.

Colour that dark comes from defects in the fluorite lattice rather than from any pigment, which is why intensely purple fluorite so often pales wherever a crystal is thin or freshly broken. CaF2 is Mohs 4 with perfect cleavage in four directions: a knock on a corner tends not to chip but to pop away a small triangular flake.

A flat plate at 7.6 × 6.4 × 2.5 cm and 140 g, thin enough to prop in a case or lay in a drawer. No stand accompanies it. These images were taken of the specimen you will receive, not of a representative sample.
