About this specimen

Ice thin and ice clear: this Yaogangxian pair is two tabular fluorite crystals locked together at a shallow angle, glass-transparent with the faintest blue breath of colour and crazed from edge to edge with fine etch lines and growth steps. No matrix, no distraction — just the geometry.

Yaogangxian in Hunan is far better known for saturated green and purple fluorite, so near-colourless blue material is a quieter side of the mine. Flattened crystals of this kind grow when the habit stretches along two directions and stalls in the third; the surface relief came afterwards, when late fluids partly redissolved the faces. Fluorite is Mohs 4 with perfect octahedral cleavage, so a thin twin wants a shelf where nothing can press against its edges.

Light in the hand at 20 g, and at its best backlit, so that the junction between the two crystals reads clearly. It travels on the white putty pad seen in the images; those images record this individual crystal pair, not a representative sample.

How is it packed and shipped?

Orders ship worldwide with fully insured, tracked delivery, carefully packed to protect fragile crystals. A display base is included.

Can I return it?

Yes — there is a 14-day return window.
