An unusual and visually striking specimen from the Qinglong Mine, featuring soft violet fluorite delicately encrusting a sculptural matrix of skeletal calcite with a warm yellow tone. The calcite displays a complex, cavernous growth habit, richly accented by scattered transparent gypsum crystals that add brilliance and texture. Under UV light the calcite exhibits strong fluorescence, enhancing the overall appeal of the piece. The interplay of pastel fluorite, glowing calcite, and sparkling gypsum creates a highly aesthetic and distinctive composition, desirable for advanced collectors of Chinese minerals.
