About this specimen

A single ice-clear cube dominates the left half of this piece, transparent enough that the brown matrix reads straight through it and hazed inside by feathery white veils where growth briefly went cloudy. Stepped cubes march off to the right in a shallow staircase, several carrying a violet square deep in the interior. Wedged between the two is a knot of pyrite, mostly darkened to gunmetal, one triangular face still showing brass.

Colour zoning like this — violet cores under water-clear outer layers — is a Yaogangxian signature, and it is why the mine’s fluorite rewards turning slowly in the light rather than looking at it once. CaF2 is only Mohs 4 and cleaves perfectly in four directions; the pyrite beside it is harder but chemically the more delicate of the pair, so keep the specimen dry and out of a humid cabinet.

Small enough for a drawer case at 3.8 × 3.8 × 2.5 cm and 45 g, sold unmounted. Everything described above was read off the actual specimen you will receive.
