About this specimen

Unleash the vibrant energy of this glassy purple fluorite crystal cluster, expertly sourced from the renowned Yaogangxian Mine in Hunan Province, China. This locality is famous for producing high-quality fluorite specimens prized by collectors worldwide. The cluster showcases the typical cubic crystal system of fluorite (CaF2), featuring well-defined, sharp-edged cubes with excellent transparency and a bright, vitreous luster that highlights its rich purple hues.

With a Mohs hardness of 4, fluorite is moderately soft, requiring careful handling to avoid scratches or damage. The specimen’s glassy purple brilliance is a result of trace impurities and unique geological conditions specific to the Yaogangxian deposit, making it a notable example of Chinese mineralogy. Its clarity and form make it an attractive piece both for display and for those interested in crystal healing.

This fluorite cluster holds collector value due to its provenance, crystal quality, and the balanced aesthetic appeal of the cluster’s arrangement. It represents a fine addition to any mineral collection, particularly for those specializing in Chinese minerals or fluorite varieties. To maintain its brilliance, it is recommended to keep the specimen away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and to clean it gently with a soft brush or cloth.
