All of our Crystals are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Geological Information:
- Location: USA (notably from regions like Illinois, Kentucky, or Colorado)
- Formation Environment: Fluorite forms in hydrothermal veins, often associated with lead and silver ores. It crystallises from fluorine-rich fluids at low to moderate temperatures within fissures and voids in the host rock.
- Geological Context: Found alongside minerals such as quartz, calcite, barite, and galena in sedimentary rock formations. The purple coloration is due to trace amounts of yttrium or exposure to natural radiation over time.
Crystal Type and Species:
- Mineral Name: Fluorite
- Chemical Formula: CaF₂ (Calcium Fluoride)
- Crystal System: Cubic (Isometric)
- Hardness: 4 on the Mohs scale
- Color: Deep to light purple (varies with trace element content and exposure)
- Lustre: Vitreous (glassy)
- Transparency: Transparent to translucent depending on clarity
Specimen Notes:
- Carefully chosen for crystal quality, color, and contrast with matrix
- Scale Rule Squares / Cube = 1cm: Full measurements shown in photo
- You will receive the exact specimen shown in the listing
Purple Fluorite is highly sought after by mineral collectors, metaphysical practitioners, and geology enthusiasts. This specimen from the USA offers an excellent example of fluorite’s cubic form and colour vibrancy within a natural matrix—perfect for display or study.
