About this specimen

Two crystals, two temperaments. On the left a violet fluorite cube carries a milky white cloud through its heart and a darker purple bloom along one edge; on the right a sea-green group steps up in stacked faces, with olive-toned flakes caught along its growth planes and a rind of pale matrix still clinging to the back.

Yaogangxian gives up both colours from the same ground, which makes a paired set like this genuinely instructive: same species, same mine, entirely different presence. Colour in fluorite comes from trace substitutions and defects in the CaF2 lattice rather than one single chromophore, so green and purple can grow within metres of each other. Both carry fluorite’s Mohs 4 softness and its four directions of easy cleavage — set them down, do not drop them.

The pair spans roughly 5.1 cm as arranged and weighs 20 g together, each crystal held on white putty on a shared clear acrylic block. Both stones photographed here are the two that travel to you.
