About this specimen

The large crystal faces on this Guizhou piece carry a mosaic of pale rectangular tiles across a smoky lavender ground, irregular enough that the QR-code nickname sticks. Deep violet runs along every edge and corner and thins inward to grey-lilac, while a knot of smaller, brighter purple cubes crowds the right-hand side beside cream-coloured dolomite.

The tiling is a surface effect rather than an inclusion. Fluorite builds layer by layer, and where a face has been partly re-dissolved and then re-grown, the boundaries between those layers stand fractionally proud and catch light as flat blocks. The strong colour edge on this piece makes the pattern unusually easy to read. Standard fluorite care applies — CaF2, Mohs 4, perfect octahedral cleavage — so keep it clear of harder minerals in the drawer.

The specimen measures 8.1 × 6.4 × 3.0 cm and weighs 170 g, flat-backed and built to display face-on. What the photographs show is what gets packed.
