About this specimen

Stacked like a short flight of glass stairs, the cubes on this Yaogangxian fluorite climb from a violet corner at the lower right up to faces so nearly colourless they take their tint from the grey behind them. Dark pyrite inclusions are locked inside the crystal, not perched on it, and a pale straw-coloured veil drifts through the middle of the stack.

Colour in fluorite comes from defects and trace impurities in the CaF2 lattice, and it can switch on and off between growth layers — which is why the violet here is confined to one shoulder while the rest of the stack stayed clear. At Mohs 4 the edges bruise easily; lift it by the block rather than pinching a corner.

Small and precise at 3.0 × 2.0 × 2.3 cm and 10 g, it is set with white putty on a clear acrylic base. Photographed on that block, exactly as it will arrive.
