About this specimen

Unleash the allure of nature with this rare Yaogangxian Phantom Fluorite Twin Crystal Specimen! A true marvel for collectors and enthusiasts, this raw purple crystal exudes a captivating twinning beauty, straight from the heart of China's renowned Yaogangxian mines. This specimen belongs to the isometric crystal system and is composed of calcium fluoride (CaF2), exhibiting a vitreous luster and a Mohs hardness of 4. Its distinctive phantom inclusions—ghost-like internal formations—add depth and intrigue to the crystal's transparent to translucent purple hues.

Originating from the Yaogangxian mine in Hunan Province, China, this locality is celebrated for producing some of the finest fluorite specimens worldwide, known for their exceptional color zoning and crystal clarity. The twin crystal formation enhances the specimen's geometric appeal, making it a noteworthy addition to any mineral collection. At 0.8 x 1.2 x 0.6 inches and weighing 0.53 oz, it offers a compact yet visually striking display piece that highlights the geological complexity of fluorite growth.

Collectors will appreciate the rarity of phantom fluorite twins from this region, as well as their suitability for cabinet display due to their aesthetic and structural integrity. To preserve the specimen's natural beauty, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause color fading, and handle with care to prevent chipping given fluorite's moderate hardness.
