About it
A specimen of fluorite, scanned and drawn with splats. Fluorite is calcium fluoride and grows in cubes. Under ultraviolet light many fluorite crystals glow blue-violet: the word fluorescence comes from this mineral.
Tap it and the lamp comes on: the stone turns slowly in its glow, then the lamp goes off. Drag to turn it and look for the cubes that grew into one another as the crystal formed.
