About this specimen

Yunnan purple-red fluorite with calcite and gypsum at 28 g; a small cabinet piece with an upright, layered form. Gypsum: keep dry.

Chinese fluorite has become a staple of modern collections for its sharp crystal faces, strong colour and a lustre that reads well from across the room.

Calcium carbonate in its rhombohedral form, calcite is soft (Mohs 3) and takes a bright vitreous to pearly lustre on fresh faces. Selenite-variety gypsum is transparent enough to read through and cleaves into thin sheets; keep it dry and out of direct sun.

Yunnan's copper and lead-zinc districts produce the azurite, malachite, pyromorphite, hemimorphite and blue aragonite that define Chinese secondary minerals.

Dimensions place it in the small cabinet range, 5.2 × 3.3 × 2.8 cm (2.05 × 1.30 × 1.10 in) and 28 g (1.0 oz). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Water-sensitive: keep dry and never wash. Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.

Each specimen is individually photographed and catalogued before it is listed.
