Description
Fluorite mix spheres from Yaogangxian
These special natural spheres from the Yaogangxian mine near Yizhang in China have a diameter of approximately 80 to 110 mm and stand out due to their striking combination of purple, cream, green, and dark mineral tones. The material is sometimes offered commercially under names such as charoite with fluorite, but the Yaogangxian mine is mineralogically known primarily for fluorite and various accompanying minerals.
Each sphere is carefully ground round and polished to a high gloss, beautifully revealing the natural color fields, veins, and fracture structures. Due to the significant individual variations, every specimen is a completely unique natural product.
Originating from the Yaogangxian mine
The Yaogangxian mine near Yizhang in Hunan, China , is internationally known among mineral collectors. The mine has produced a wide variety of minerals and is particularly famous for its beautiful fluorite crystals, often in combination with other minerals.
The natural variation of the stone ensures that every polished sphere displays a unique distribution of colors and patterns.
Size from 80 to 110 mm
With a diameter of approximately 80 to 110 mm, these spheres are a beautifully generous size. They are large enough to make the unique mineral pattern clearly visible, yet remain easy to display on a cabinet, desk, display case, or acrylic stand.
Multiple sizes together form a particularly attractive collection.
Purple and green color contrasts
The most striking feature of these spheres is the strong combination of different colors. Purple areas alternate with lighter creamy zones, green minerals, and dark veins, creating a lively and almost mosaic-like pattern.
Thanks to the high-gloss surface, the various colors gain extra depth, and natural structures stand out even better under focused lighting.
With natural fluorite zones
Fluorite is an important mineral from the Yaogangxian mine and can take on various colors, including purple, green, and colorless. In polished decorative objects, these color transitions can become particularly beautifully visible.
The exact mineralogical composition can vary from sphere to sphere, meaning that the color, pattern, and ratio of the different minerals are not the same in every specimen.
Trade name charoite with fluorite
This material may be offered commercially as charoite with fluorite. In this regard, it is important to distinguish between a commercial trade name and the official mineralogical identification of charoite.
True charoite is known from the Russian Murun region and is not documented as a characteristic mineral of Yaogangxian. For these spheres, we therefore use the trade name solely to identify the material as it is commercially offered.
Carefully polished
Each sphere is carefully ground and polished to a smooth and glossy surface. As a result, color areas, natural veins, and internal structures become extra clearly visible.
Moreover, the spherical shape makes it possible to view the material from any angle, revealing different patterns and color combinations each time.
Every sphere is unique
Due to their natural composition, all specimens differ significantly from one another. One sphere may be predominantly purple, while another contains more cream, green, or dark mineral zones.
Natural fault lines, veins, inclusions, and color variations may also occur and are part of the character of the rock.
Decorative for interior and showroom
Due to their vibrant colors, these spheres are particularly suitable as decorative mineral objects. On a transparent acrylic stand, the colors are beautifully showcased, creating a luxurious presentation.
They fit perfectly in a modern interior, practice room, mineral shop, showroom, or display cabinet.
Interesting for mineral collectors
For collectors, these spheres are attractive due to the combination of a well-known Chinese mining location, striking color variations, and natural mineralogical variation.
Each sphere therefore forms an individual collector's item in which shape, color distribution, and structure are unique.
