About this specimen

Discover the captivating allure of a White Fluorite Octahedron, renowned for its unique matrix-attached structure from Daye, China. Perfect for passionate mineral collectors, this rare specimen adds a touch of natural elegance to any collection.

Fluorite crystallizes in the isometric system, commonly forming well-defined octahedral shapes as seen in this piece. With a Mohs hardness of 4, fluorite is relatively soft compared to many minerals, requiring careful handling to preserve its sharp edges and smooth surfaces. The chemical formula CaF₂ reflects its composition as calcium fluoride. This specimen exhibits a vitreous luster, enhancing its translucent to semi-transparent, icy-white fluorite crystals, which are perched aesthetically on a contrasting matrix.

Originating from the historic mines of Daye in Hubei Province, China, this locality is noted for its diverse and collectible fluorite morphologies. Specimens from Daye are valued for their well-formed crystals and distinctive colors, making this matrix-attached octahedron a noteworthy addition for collectors interested in Chinese fluorite.

The specimen’s clean geometric octahedra and subtle color make it well-suited for display, providing both scientific interest and visual appeal. Due to fluorite’s softness and cleavage, it is recommended to handle this specimen gently and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged sunlight to maintain its integrity and appearance.
