About this specimen

A single block of pale celadon fluorite carries a rolling crust of sage-green dolomite across its top edge: green ice under a bank of moss. The cube is translucent rather than gemmy, its interior filled with soft white cloud and shallow growth terraces that climb the left-hand face in flights, and two tiny colourless cubes glitter where the dolomite thins away on the right.

Dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2, arrives late in the Yaogangxian sequence, settling over fluorite that had already finished growing. Because it drapes rather than replaces, specimens like this preserve a stratigraphy you can read at a glance — fluorite first, carbonate afterwards. Fluorite’s Mohs 4 and octahedral cleavage leave the exposed cube corners as the vulnerable part, so support the piece from underneath when moving it.

A true miniature at 4.8 × 4.6 × 2.5 cm and 45 g, shown putty-mounted on a clear acrylic block. Photographs and specimen agree exactly: this is the piece, not a stand-in.
