About this specimen
A violet shadow pools deep in the core of the larger of two glassy lilac fluorite cubes riding the left shoulder of this Yaogangxian piece; the smaller one steps against it at an angle, near-transparent where the light comes through its edge. Everything beneath is a knobbly crust of pale lilac mica, granular as coarse sugar, with a few colourless needles and the odd brassy pyrite crumb caught in the hollows.
The tungsten workings at Yaogangxian are best known for fluorite, but it is the lavender mica carpet that gives plates like this their ground: glass set on velvet rather than crystal on bare rock. Fluorite reads vitreous, never metallic, and at Mohs 4 with perfect octahedral cleavage a knock on an exposed cube corner takes a clean chip straight off.
5.8 × 5.1 × 3.6 cm and 105 g, unmounted and photographed in an open hand. The specimen you receive is the one in these frames.
