Mauve Stepped Fluorite – Minggang Mine, Henan, China

540g, 11cm by 8.5cm.

A beautifully unusual Minggang fluorite in the dreamiest dusty mauve-pink tones, formed from layers upon layers of stepped cubic crystals.

The entire piece is packed with intricate growth — broad fluorite faces break into smaller terraced cubes, creating an almost architectural, stacked effect. Some areas take on a slightly skeletal, frosted appearance, while others remain smoother and more glassy, giving the specimen so much texture from every angle.

The soft muted colour is what makes this one especially lovely. Instead of a strong purple, it sits somewhere between lavender, mauve and dusty rose, making the complex crystal growth feel even more delicate.

Locality: Minggang Mine, Xinyang, Henan, China
