Fluorite mit Ferberite - Yaogangxian Mine China

Size: 6.5 x 6 x 6.5 cm

Location: Yaogangxian Mine - Yizhang Co. - Chenzhou Pref. - Hunan Prov. - China

This rare collector's item impresses with its unusual combination of tabular ferberite and twinned fluorite cubes. The ferberite, a rare mineral, impresses with its metallic luster, which gives it a particularly striking appearance. In harmonious contrast to this are the two transparent fluorite cubes, which impress with their delicate purple colouring and perfectly recognisable phantoms. The phantoms in the fluorite, which were created by growth interruptions, give the piece an extraordinary visual depth.

A futuristic-looking mineral

Although the fluorite remains rather discreetly in the background in this arrangement, it still provides a special stage for the ferberite. The almost black ferberite appears to float on the delicate purple fluorite cubes, giving the piece a futuristic look. This combination of smooth, geometric shapes makes this specimen a collector's item that exudes pure sci-fi charm and stands out for its unusual appearance.

The combination of these two minerals is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely rare to find. In particular, the clear structure of the ferberite and the phantoms in the fluorite contribute to the uniqueness of this piece.

Rarity of ferberite

Ferberite is an extremely rare mineral, prized for its tabular crystal structure and metallic luster. It belongs to the wolframite group and contains high amounts of tungsten, making it an important and rare raw material. In this piece, the ferberite is the main attraction. Its almost black surface and clear, tabular structure make it a real eye-catcher in any collection.

The ferberite is enthroned on the fluorite cubes and makes a powerful visual impression with its metallic luster and compact form. This rare combination of ferberite and fluorite makes the piece particularly valuable and a sought-after collector's item.

Fluorite cubes with clearly visible phantoms

The two transparent fluorite cubes on which the ferberite rests have a delicate lilac colouring, which is characteristic of fluorite. The twinning and the clearly visible phantoms within the fluorite crystals create a fascinating interplay of light and depth. Phantoms occur when the growth of a crystal is interrupted and then resumes, leaving growth stages visible within the crystal. This feature adds an extra dimension to the fluorite and makes it an important part of the overall piece despite its subtle presence.

This piece of tabular ferberite on twinned fluorite is a rare and aesthetically impressive combination. The metallic shine of the ferberite and the phantoms in the purple fluorite combine to create a collector's item that impresses not only with its rarity but also with its futuristic appearance. Collectors of rare and unusual minerals will appreciate the uniqueness of this arrangement.
