Natural Yaogangxian Purple Phantom Fluorite on Flaky Calcite - Collector's Mineral Masterpiece - 50x35x30mm
A Dance of Depth and Delicacy! Witness a breathtaking geological partnership from the legendary Yaogangxian Mine (Hunan, China) – where deep Purple Phantom Fluorite crystallizes dramatically atop snow-white Flaky Calcite. This museum-grade specimen captures nature’s artistry through striking color contrast and mesmerizing texture, embodying the pinnacle of Chinese mineral excellence.
Unlock the Phantom’s Mystery: Gaze into translucent fluorite cubes revealing ethereal violet "ghost layers" – a signature phantom effect that unveils millennia of crystal growth. Resting on a glittering bed of diamond-like calcite flakes, this rare coexistence creates a hypnotic interplay of solidity and fragility, depth and delicacy.
Specimen Details:
Dimensions: 50 mm (W) x 35 mm (D) x 30 mm (H) – Impressive display presence
Weight: 0.1 kg (100 grams – substantial cabinet piece)
Origin: Yaogangxian Mine, Hunan, China (Global benchmark for elite fluorites)
Key Feature: Deep purple phantom zoning in fluorite + sparkling flaky calcite matrix
Formation: Fluorite crystals naturally grown atop brittle calcite cleavage planes
Condition: 100% natural. Minor calcite edge micro-chips or subtle fluorite inclusions may occur – authentic hallmarks of genuine specimens.
Why This Specimen Stands Apart:
Legendary Provenance: Yaogangxian specimens define top-tier collectibility and value.
Rare Mineral Pairing: Purple phantom fluorite + flaky calcite is exceptionally uncommon.
Textural Theatre: Jewel-like fluorite vs. sugar-sparkle calcite creates dazzling visual tension.
Phantom Allure: Internal growth zones add scientific intrigue and depth.
Investment-Grade: Premier Chinese combinations appreciate among connoisseurs.
Pure & Untouched: Zero treatments – raw Earth artistry at its finest.
⚠️ Critical Handling Protocol:
Fluorite (Mohs 4) and calcite (Mohs 3) are exceptionally fragile.
→ Never touch crystal faces – oils degrade luster
→ Avoid compressed air/vibration – flakes may detach
→ Display in a sealed case only – humidity damages calcite
→ Clean with dry soft brush only – never use water or chemicals
Own a Legend of Mineralogy! More than a specimen – this is a fragment of Yaogangxian’s legacy. For advanced collectors who demand geological storytelling and visual grandeur. Ships in a crush-proof box with acrylic display case.
Note: Natural variations in phantom intensity, calcite flake size/distribution, and contact points occur. Photos represent the exceptional quality synonymous with Yaogangxian. Actual specimen may differ slightly.
