Purple Fluorite Microcrystals on Quartz Crystal Cluster | Mexico | 0.8 oz
$49.99
Curated by The Hidden Bazaar
An intriguing miniature mineral specimen from Mexico displaying delicate violet-purple, square-shaped crystals decorating the surfaces of clear to smoky translucent crystals. The striking purple cubic growth stands out against a shimmering gray-white crystalline host, with one upright crystal providing a sculptural focal point.
Mineral identification: Probable purple fluorite (CaF₂), exhibiting fine cubic microcrystals, associated with probable quartz (SiO₂). Identification is based on photographic crystal-habit assessment, not laboratory testing; other associated minerals are possible.
- Origin: Mexico; mine and district not verified
- Weight: 0.8 oz (approximately 22.7 g)
- Reported age: 5–50 million years; unverified and not an independently determined mineral formation age
- Appearance: Purple cubic microcrystals, translucent colorless-to-smoky crystals and natural sparkling matrix
- Condition: Natural specimen with visible irregular edges and possible minor crystal contacts or chips; review original photos
- Quantity: One of a kind; receive the exact specimen photographed
- Provisional rarity index: 5/10 based on visual collector interest, not a scientific rarity measure
Collector note: Purple fluorite and quartz are documented associations in Mexican mineral localities, but a precise mine attribution cannot be established from these photographs alone.
Metaphysical traditions (not scientifically established): Fluorite is traditionally associated with mental clarity and focus; quartz with amplification and balance.
