About this specimen

One glassy fluorite crystal holds the centre of a white plate, and its violet is strictly rationed: a wedge of colour banks along the upper left edge, a second smudge below it, and the rest runs clear enough to show the plate straight through. A purple fleck no bigger than a grain of rice sits on the quartz a centimetre to the right. The plate repays a look of its own — sugary and opaque on the left, thinning on the right into a crazed lattice of intergrown blades that daylight passes through.

Colour banked into one corner records a short interval when the fluid carried whatever tints fluorite violet, before it went back to laying down colourless material. The pairing sets the handling rule: fluorite is Mohs 4, the quartz beneath it Mohs 7, so the softer crystal is the one to protect from grit on a cloth or from harder neighbours in the drawer.

The plate measures 5.6 × 4.8 × 1.8 cm and weighs 45 g. Images were made of this plate itself; at under two centimetres thick it lies flat in a case or leans on a riser, and no base is supplied.
