Fluorite from Hexigten Banner, Inner Mongolia, China

This fluorite is not only impressive because of its vibrant colours, but also because of its transparency and clarity. The crystals display a deep purple that transforms into fascinating green-blue tones at the edges. The crystals are flawless and present themselves in a transparent, shiny form that immediately attracts the viewer's eye.

Rare combination of minerals with pyrrhotite

At the base of the fluorite is a plate of pyrrhotite, embedded in small, delicate quartz points. The pyrrhotite has a distinctive bronze lustre and provides an exciting contrast to the clear and dark fluorite crystals. The combination of these two minerals makes this piece particularly sought-after. Pyrrhotite is a rare iron sulfide mineral that is rarely found in such pristine form in combination with fluorite.
