About this specimen

Look into the largest cube and the crystal shows its own history: a dark violet core sealed inside a pale, near-colourless shell, the boundary between them ruled as cleanly as a line in ink. That is a phantom, and several cubes on this Yaogangxian cluster carry one. Cream dolomite rhombs and pinpoint metallic crystals are perched on the fluorite faces rather than trapped inside them, and a fine lilac druse of later fluorite frosts the lower edges.

Phantoms record an interruption. The fluorite grew, the fluid feeding it changed — different trace elements, different temperature — and growth resumed in a paler chemistry, freezing the earlier crystal shape inside the newer one. Fluorite is soft for something so glassy, Mohs 4, with perfect octahedral cleavage that will take a corner clean off if the piece is knocked; store it clear of harder neighbours.

Compact at 4.6 × 3.8 × 3.8 cm and 75 g, supplied without a base. These images were taken of the cluster you will receive.
