Dimensions: 8 x 4.5 x 3 inches
Material: Natural green with small areas of deep purple Fluorite
Special Features: Fluoresces deep blue under UV light
Origin: Madagascar
This deep green with touches of dark purple Madagascar fluorite specimen is amazing — defined by its structure as much as its color: large, distinct cubic formations rise from the piece alongside smaller "waves" of cubes rippling across the surface and dusted in a fine sugar druzy that catches the light. Fluorite grows in the cubic crystal system, and this piece shows that geometry clearly.
Under UV light, this piece transforms by fluorescing a deep, saturated blue. That response comes from trace rare-earth elements like europium and yttrium woven into the crystal lattice, which absorb UV light and re-emit it as visible color. The transformation is mezmerizing.
Fluroite is associated with mental clarity and focus by the process of recognizing patterns in the mind, and a piece with this much surface complexity — cubes within cubes, drusy texture catching the light — makes for a specimen that rewards close, slow examination.
This crystal is a well-proportioned display piece for a shelf or cabinet. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight and away from harder materials that could chip the crystal edges or druzy surface as Fluorite is a 4 on the Mohs scale and can be damaged more easily than harder minerals.
This intricate piece is for collectors drawn to structural detail and the added dimension of UV fluorescence to create an experience in a crystal!
