Ethereal Bloom – Calcite & Pyrite on Aqua Fluorite
Ethereal Bloom is a sculptural mineral specimen where frosted white calcite “petals” blossom across a sea-green fluorite matrix, their edges dusted with sparkling pyrite. The contrasting textures—silky rosettes, mirror-bright pyrite, and glass-smooth fluorite—create a natural still-life that feels both otherworldly and refined. Mounted on a discreet black base, the piece displays equally well on a mantle, console, or illuminated pedestal, inviting close study of its intricate crystal chemistry.
Details:
• Composition: Pale-green fluorite plate hosting calcite rosettes and pyrite druse
• Locality: Xianghualing Mine, Hunan Province, China (sought-after for gem-quality fluorite)
• Dimensions: 3.25" W × 4" D × 5" H (overall, including custom base)
• Finish: Natural, unpolished crystal faces with minimal stabilization
• Presentation: Removable matte-black acrylic plinth with felt underlay for surface protection
• Care: Dust gently with microfiber; avoid water and harsh cleaners to preserve pyrite sheen
• Exclusivity: One-of-a-kind acquisition curated by CounterFixtures, Dallas
