About this specimen

Ice-blue fluorite cubes sit like chips of glacier in a grey quartz druse, some sharp and free-standing, others half-swallowed by the crystal carpet around them. Cream-coloured calcite blades lie across the plate at intervals, and at the left edge the specimen opens onto a mass of violet fluorite where it was broken free.

Xianghualing is a tin-polymetallic system, and its fluorites are known for exactly this restraint: pale blue, pale green, sometimes water-clear, always glassy rather than showy. The quartz points beneath the cubes are the earlier crop, the calcite blades the last arrivals, and the three habits together give the plate more texture than a single-species piece could manage. Fluorite is Mohs 4 and calcite only 3, so lift this one by the plate, never by anything standing proud of it.

9.7 × 5.1 × 4.6 cm, 280 g, sold without a stand. Each frame on this page shows this same plate turned to the light.
