About this specimen

The upper half of this small Guizhou piece is a dome of dark violet fluorite patterned with paler lavender blocks, as though a mosaic had been set into the surface and then softened. Below and around it, honey-gold calcite crystals crowd the matrix in a warm druse, and a patch of white carbonate breaks in at the left edge. Purple over gold, in something that sits comfortably in the palm.

Fluorite and calcite are frequent companions in the carbonate-hosted deposits of Guizhou, precipitating from the same fluids at different moments; here the calcite came last, banking up against the fluorite instead of burying it. The pairing needs a careful hand in cleaning: calcite is Mohs 3 with perfect rhombohedral cleavage and reacts to even weak acid, while the fluorite at Mohs 4 cleaves octahedrally. Water and a soft brush, nothing stronger.

Modest in size at 5.8 × 3.6 × 2.0 cm and 50 g. Everything visible in the photographs belongs to this piece, which is the one that ships.
