YGX Blue and Purple Fluorite with Pyrite
YGX Fluorite with Pyrite – Hunan, China
A dramatic YGX fluorite specimen from Hunan, China, featuring pale blue-green to lavender fluorite accented by extensive patches and sprays of sparkling metallic pyrite.
The fluorite displays a beautiful combination of translucent pastel green, icy blue, and soft purple tones, with numerous angular crystal faces and natural stepped growth. Across the surface, contrasting golden-brassy pyrite forms intricate clusters and delicate coatings, creating a striking pattern against the lighter fluorite.
The specimen has an unusual sculptural form, with layers of intergrown fluorite and pyrite producing a great deal of texture and visual depth. The metallic pyrite catches the light beautifully against the soft, translucent colors of the fluorite.
A distinctive collector specimen that combines pastel-colored translucent fluorite with abundant metallic pyrite for a particularly eye-catching display piece.
