New Arrival Yindu Cherry Pocket Fluorites from Inner Mongolia (5 available) Each pieces comes with a custom mold Light Base. Yindu cherry pocket fluorite, specifically from the Yindu Mine in Inner Mongolia, China, is known for its unique combination of vibrant colors, often featuring deep purple and blue hues, and its gemmy, translucent to transparent crystals. These crystals are frequently found with phantom inclusions, particularly purple octohedral phantoms within a lighter blue fluorite matrix, and can exhibit a rare and intense red fluorescence under UV light. The Yindu Mine is also known for producing fluorite with complex etching patterns and color zoning, where deep bands of purple and blue can give way to vivid magenta and red near the center of the crystal. Here’s a more detailed look at the properties: Color and Clarity: Yindu cherry pocket fluorite is prized for its rich color saturation, with deep purples and blues being common, and the rare occurrence of intense red fluorescence. The crystals are often gemmy, meaning they are translucent to transparent, allowing light to pass through and reveal the internal details, including phantoms. Phantom Inclusions: Many Yindu fluorite specimens exhibit phantom crystals, particularly purple octohedral phantoms within a lighter blue fluorite matrix. Etching and Zoning: The fluorite crystals from Yindu can display complex etching patterns and color zoning, where different colors are arranged in layers within the crystal structure. Fluorescence: A standout feature of Yindu fluorite is its strong and often intense red fluorescence under UV light, making it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts. Cubic Form: Yindu fluorite is also known for its cubic crystal structure, with some specimens featuring multiple cubes growing together.
