Look at this rich and dark purple outlined fluorite with a white rosette of barite perched in the corner! Incredible fluorite specimen, with countless cubic crystals coating the quartz rock.
As with all of our minerals, no two pieces are alike, offering a truly one-of-a-kind gift for mineral collectors, Minecraft fans, geologists, and rockhounds alike. From Qinglong Mine, Guizhou, China. Pictured on 1" x 1.5" acrylic base and mounting putty, included with purchase.
Fluorite is a highly prized mineral among collectors due to its remarkable range of colors, crystal clarity, and unique properties. This calcium fluoride mineral crystallizes in the isometric system, often forming well-defined cubes. Ill-defined cubes, and occasionally octahedral shapes. Its colors span a broad spectrum, including vivid purples, greens, blues, yellows, and colorless varieties, with some specimens showcasing multiple colors in striking bands or zones.
Many fluorite specimens are also fluorescent, glowing in shades of blue or purple under ultraviolet light, adding an extra layer of fascination. Found in hydrothermal veins, sedimentary deposits, and igneous rocks, notable sources of collectible fluorite include China, England, Mexico, and the United States. Its vibrant colors, distinct crystal forms, and fluorescent qualities make fluorite a standout addition to any mineral collection.
