About this specimen

A crust rather than a cluster: this Fujian fluorite has a sugary, gently botryoidal surface, pale lilac around the rim and cooling to soft mint-green through the middle, where the light seems to sit just under the skin. Two small metallic nodules of iron mineral are fixed on that surface like rivets, with a scatter of finer dark grains beside them.

Fluorite does not always build cubes. Deposited quickly into a thin open seam it can grow as a granular druse instead — a continuous sheet of minute terminations, which is what gives this piece its matte, frosted feel under the fingertips. The colour break from lilac to green running across one unbroken surface is the part that rewards a loupe: two colour regimes in the same sheet of CaF2, with no crystal boundary between them. At Mohs 4 it should be kept from rubbing against harder pieces.

Recorded at 18.0 × 2.8 × 4.3 cm and shown unmounted. Nothing was photographed for this listing but the crust described here.
