This striking twinned specimen features vibrant purple fluorite coating a pair of elongated quartz crystals from the Huanggang Mine in Inner Mongolia, China. Discovered in late 2025, this material quickly caught the attention of collectors for its unusual growth habit and dramatic coloration. The crystal displays classic candle quartz formation, with sculptural quartz points that are naturally draped in a shimmering violet coating of fluorite microcrystals. This piece also includes a unique UV reactive terminated fluorite crystal perched at the base of the specimen.
The fluorite forms a fine crystalline layer across the surface of the quartz, creating a soft, frosted texture that ranges from lilac to deeper grape-purple tones depending on the light. This specimen shows a range of purple coloration across the crystal faces, along with additional secondary growth that adds extra dimension and character. It weighs 231 grams and measures approximately 4.5 inches by 2.25 inches by 1.5 inches.
