About this specimen

A wedge of violet-black fluorite sits on the crown of this milky quartz block, its faces stepped back in flat terraces that light up one row at a time. Where a healed fracture cuts through the crystal it throws a narrow band of spectral colour, pink through green, across the purple. A second and paler run of fluorite creeps down the right-hand flank, dusted with tan mica flakes and a little rust-orange iron staining.

White quartz and saturated purple fluorite are a signature pairing in Hunan’s hydrothermal veins: the quartz builds first as a coarse milky mass, then fluorite crystallises into what cavities remain, taking its colour from defects in the CaF2 lattice. Purple this deep usually goes near-opaque through the core while the edges stay glassy, exactly as it does here.

5.1 × 2.5 × 4.6 cm and 50 g, small enough to close a hand around. No stand or base was used for the shoot; the images record this individual piece as it will ship.
