AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A specimen of fluorite in association with muscovite, originating from Yindu. The fluorite crystals display the typical cubic habit of the mineral, with sharply defined edges and a transparent surface that shows a subtle vitreous luster. The coloration is delicate, ranging from light violet to pale blue, giving the piece a luminous and pure appearance. The fluorite contrasts with small, shimmering muscovite flakes, which form parallel, pearly plates that add sparkle and fine texture to the composition. The combination of clear fluorite and silvery muscovite scales gives the specimen a highly decorative character, while also illustrating the typical paragenesis of minerals from the Yindu pegmatites. The whole is harmonious and naturally balanced, with the play of light across the crystal surfaces emphasizing both their geometric form and the shimmering subtlety of the background.
