About this specimen
Look past the surface and the crystal opens up. The outside of this Yaogangxian group is frosted and dusted olive-green, a fine micaceous coat clinging to the cube faces; underneath, deep violet cores hang in near-colourless fluorite, their square outlines parallel to the outer edges — phantoms, the shape the crystal held earlier in its life. Stepped growth ledges cross the largest cube, and a pocket at the lower left holds cream-white blades and a few slender needles.
Phantoms form when growth pauses long enough for a film of another mineral, or a shift in trace chemistry, to be sealed in and then buried by later fluorite. Nothing about them is added afterwards; they are a record of interruption. Fluorite is Mohs 4 with perfect octahedral cleavage, so this is a display piece rather than a handling piece — support it from below.
4.8 × 3.8 × 3.0 cm, 65 g, standing on the clear acrylic cube shown in the images. Photographed specimen and shipped specimen are one and the same.
