About this specimen

Discover the mesmerizing blend of green inclusions and purple zoning in our premium Fluorite Crystal Collection from the renowned Yaogangxian Mine. Perfect for enthusiasts and educators alike, this set offers a stunning glimpse into the wonders of mineralogy.

Fluorite, with the chemical formula CaF2, crystallizes in the isometric (cubic) system, known for its well-formed cubic and octahedral crystals. This mineral exhibits a vitreous luster and rates a 4 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it relatively soft but durable enough for careful handling and display. The specimens in this collection showcase vibrant green hues with interesting mineral inclusions alongside striking purple zoning, both transparent to translucent, which highlight the complex growth patterns typical of fluorite from this region.

The Yaogangxian Mine, located in Hunan Province, China, is famed for producing fine fluorite specimens valued by collectors worldwide. The unique combination of green and purple coloration in these crystals reflects the geochemical conditions of the locality, offering a valuable educational resource for studying mineral zoning and crystal formation processes.

This set is particularly suited for collectors seeking visually distinctive fluorite specimens with educational appeal. To preserve their natural beauty, it is recommended to keep the crystals away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and to handle them gently to avoid scratches or damage to their delicate faces.
