Delicate Fluorite Crystal
As beautiful as this mineral is, fluorite is delicate so must be handled carefully.
Often known as the most colourful mineral in the world, it can exhibit a wide variety of colours. Colour is determined by a number of factors but primarily impurities within the crystal structure.
Being translucent, colours are best appreciated when the stone is illuminated.
Although shades of red, purple, green, blue and yellow are most common, it can occur in almost any colour. In its purest form fluorite is colourless.
Due to it being so fragile it's not unusual for fluorite to have minor imperfections.
