Mineral: Fluorite

Variety: QR Fluorite (Purple Edge Fluorite)

Locality: Dachong Mine, Qujiang District, Guangdong Province, China

This charming miniature specimen showcases delicate pale lavender fluorite cubes adorned with the distinctive purple edge zoning that has earned these crystals the nickname "QR Fluorite." Fine violet outlines trace the edges of each crystal, while intricate internal growth patterns create the appearance of tiny geometric maps within every cube.

The fluorite sits atop a sparkling drusy matrix with subtle golden mineralisation beneath, creating beautiful contrast against the soft lilac crystals. Despite its miniature size, the specimen displays remarkable detail and crystal definition, making it an excellent addition to any collector's cabinet.

Fluorite from the Dachong Mine is renowned for its unique edge-zoned growth, with no two specimens displaying exactly the same pattern. These fascinating formations are among the most recognisable and collectible modern fluorites from China.

Each specimen is entirely unique, formed naturally over millions of years.
