About this specimen
Purple Phantom Fluorite from Yao Gang Xian features a striking large transparent window on dolomite. This rare mineral stone is a must-have for collectors seeking unique and exquisite specimens. Its vibrant hues and crystal clarity make it a stunning display piece, ideal for enhancing any mineral collection.
Fluorite (chemical formula CaF2) crystallizes in the isometric (cubic) crystal system and typically exhibits a vitreous luster. With a Mohs hardness of 4, it is relatively soft compared to other minerals, requiring careful handling to avoid scratches or damage. The specimen from Yao Gang Xian, a renowned mining locality in Hunan Province, China, is prized for its exceptional transparency and well-defined crystal faces.
This particular piece showcases a large, clear fluorite crystal with a distinctive purple phantom—a ghost-like internal zoning that adds depth and intrigue to the specimen. The crystal's transparency allows a detailed view of its internal structure, while the contrasting dolomite matrix enhances its visual appeal. The phantom feature is uncommon and sought after by collectors for its aesthetic and mineralogical significance.
Due to its delicate nature and relative softness, it is recommended to display this fluorite specimen away from direct sunlight and to handle it gently to preserve its clarity and structural integrity. This piece represents a valuable addition for collectors interested in high-quality fluorite specimens with notable phantom formations and provenance from one of the world’s most celebrated fluorite localities.
