Translucent Green Fluorite Polished Stone
Beautifully translucent green fluorite polished stone at an unbeatable price.
This cushion-shaped stone has gently rounded edges and a glass-like appearance and texture.
I found it in the reduced basket during a visit to one of our suppliers in South Africa. It had seemingly been set in a piece of jewellery but was later removed.
It was rejected because of some reddish-brown inclusions and a minor natural internal fracture (or possibly a distinctive inclusion) in one corner.
Fluorite is a soft, fragile mineral, so minor anomalies and imperfections are common.
Although it may not have been suitable as a gemstone for jewellery, it’s a beautifully polished crystal cut from a natural mineral.
When held up to a bright light, a mass of curious inclusions can be seen.
A faint mark, visible in our first photo, can be seen on one side of the stone from where it was mounted in a setting.
The horizontal reddish-brown mark that can be seen in our last photo is an inclusion.
If you're looking for a beautiful green fluorite crystal and don’t mind these 'imperfections,' this piece will not disappoint.
