About this specimen

Purple discs sit half-sunk in a chalk-white plate, each one ringed like a sawn agate: a dark violet rim, a paler lilac band inside that, then a frosted, almost colourless core. Seen flat-on they look pressed into the rock rather than grown on it — the banded Zhejiang material the trade knows as lollipop fluorite.

Banding this crisp records a fluid that changed composition between growth pulses, each ring a chapter in the pocket’s chemistry. Because the crystals sit embedded rather than perched, the white host has shielded their outer faces from the contact damage that usually comes with extraction. Fluorite (CaF2) is Mohs 4 with octahedral cleavage, soft enough that the matrix genuinely earns its keep as armour.

A palm-filling plate at 9.4 × 3.6 × 7.6 cm and 360 g, it shows well face-up or leaned on a small easel; no stand is supplied. These photographs were taken of this plate, ring for ring.
