this specimen is a Purple Cubic Fluorite cluster on a Quartz matrix. Key Characteristics Mineral Identification: The purple, cube-shaped crystals are Fluorite. Many specimens of this type exhibit "phantom" zoning, where darker purple squares are visible inside lighter crystals. Associated Minerals: The Fluorite cubes are embedded in or resting on a white, crystalline Quartz matrix. Some similar specimens also contain traces of pyrite, pyrrhotite, or chlorite. Common Origin: Specimens with this specific appearance—vibrant purple cubes on a pale, druzy, or needle-like quartz matrix—are frequently sourced from the Yindu Mine in Inner Mongolia, China. Other notable locations for similar cubic purple fluorite include the Shangbao Mine and various sites in the Hunan Province. This piece is roughly 4.5x3 inches and weighs 6.993oz
