LUMINOUS INTENSE PURPLE FLUORITE, CHINA Crystals on matrix - Height: 38 mm - Width: 28 mm- 28 g

Fluorite is renowned for its diverse range of vivid colors, often exhibiting fluorescence under ultraviolet light. This specimen features luminous intense purple fluorite crystals originating from China, a region known for producing fluorescent minerals of exceptional clarity and color saturation. Fluorite crystallizes in cubic or octahedral forms and is chemically calcium fluoride, valued in both industrial applications and as a collector's mineral due to its optical properties and vibrant hues. The rich purple coloration can range from light lavender to deep violet, often enhanced by certain trace elements within the crystal lattice. Measuring 38 mm in height and 28 mm in width, this compact specimen offers a glimpse into fluorite's beauty and its capacity to fluoresce under UV light, a characteristic that adds both scientific interest and aesthetic appeal. Its presence on matrix adds contextual interest, highlighting the natural environment where the crystals formed.
