Translucent Green Fluorite
Highly translucent green fluorite crystal from our collection of rocks and minerals. A wonderfully tactile cushion shaped stone with soft rounded edges.
This green fluorite was cut from material mined in Riemvasmaak in the Northern Cape of South Africa.
Fluorite is often referred to as the world's most colourful mineral. This is because it occurs in such a wide variety of colours. In its purest form fluorite is colourless.
Although hues of yellow, green, blue and purple are the most common, stones can also be white, blue, red or brown. They're usually transparent or translucent with a vitreous lustre.
Fluorite is relatively soft and fragile so stones must be handled with care. It's not unusual for them to have minor imperfections.
The colour of fluorite is sensitive to light. If exposed to sunlight for long periods of time it will slowly fade.
