Field notes
The project organizes its material as a private archive rather than a conventional shop or reference database. Specimens receive permanent WS identifiers, while the opening Yaogangxian set records fluorite and quartz together through locality, chemical composition, and visual observations. The homepage says the five specimens are represented through twenty real views, and the individual entry for WS—YGX—01 offers separate views of crystal geometry, changing surface lustre, and mineral intergrowth.
