This material is know as “Sugar Fluorite” due to the fine overgrowth of druzy Clear Quartz on top of the Fluorite crystals. What a story this piece has to tell. The initial Fluorite growth has been coated with a fine druzy dark grey Chalcedony with clearly defined sections or rooms which contain another growth of pale purple Fluorite crystals, some with a Clear Quartz druzy overgrowth. So much happened to create this masterpiece of Mother Nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChina is the location of so many deposits of the best quality fluorite in the world. These gorgeous pale purple\/lavender pieces display excellent stepped growth structure and are perched on lovely druzy Quartz host rock. Pieces like these are fuelling my current deep attraction to Fluorite from all over the world - many more pieces to come in the near future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorite is composed of calcium fluoride and is a member of the Halide family. It is transparent to translucent with a vitreous lustre, and crystallizes in well-formed isometric cubes, nodules, clusters, or in massive form. It is the only common mineral with perfect cleavage in four directions, a characteristic that may be visible to the naked eye in clear stones as subtle etchings permeating the entire crystal. This cleavage frequently produces perfect octahedrons, and more rarely dodecahedrons and other complex forms, including penetration twins as if one cube were growing into or out of another. Fluorite is the reference mineral for a hardness of four on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it too soft for everyday wear as a gem, though it is carved into wonderful faceted stones and sold as collector’s specimens or used in jewellery that is not subject to impact or abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHailed as “the most colourful mineral in the world,” Fluorite forms in a wide variety of hues, typically purple, green, yellow, blue, and in pure form - colorless, though specimens of pink, red, white, brown and black also occur. It is frequently multi-coloured with bands, or zones, of colour that intermingle. Impurities, exposure to radiation, and voids in the colour centres determine Fluorite’s colour and help give it a wonderful luminous quality. Its crystals were some of the first specimens studied for the phenomenon of “fluorescence,” which was named for Fluorite, and are thought to be caused when trace amounts of yttrium, cerium, europium, or other rare earth elements substitute for calcium in the mineral structure. Some varieties of Fluorite may also be phosphorescent, thermoluminescent and\/or triboluminescent. \\n \\nFluorite occurs in large deposits in many locations around the world, most commonly as vein fillings in rocks that have been subjected to hydrothermal activity and contain metallic ores such as Lead, Zinc, Silver, Galena, or Sphalerite. It may also be associated with Barite, Quartz and Calcite, among others, and is often a primary or secondary mineral in marbles, granites, dolostone and limestone. Originally known as Fluorspar or Fluorospar, Fluorite is primarily an industrial mineral with a low melting point deriving its name from the Latin fleure, meaning “to flow,” and refers to its use as a flux in the steel and aluminium smelting processes. It has numerous uses in the ceramic and chemical industries as a source of fluoride, fluorine and hydrofluoric acid, and for use in glazes, enamels and speciality glass. High quality Fluorite is also used in making top grade optical lenses for cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. The term “Fluorspar” is still commonly used in the industrial and chemical trades, while “Fluorite” is used for mineralogical, lapidary and most other references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorite is one of the most collectible and highly sought after crystals in the world, loved by mineralogists and metaphysical healers alike. Its remarkable cubes are at times, almost too perfect to believe, emerging like magic treasure in matrix rock, or tightly stacked cube on cube like a futuristic city in miniature. Fluorite is an extraordinary creation of Nature, beautiful and luminous, soft and glassy, often vibrant in colour, with an internal structure of order and perfection that resonates with the human mind like no other crystal. It carries a calm, stable frequency that brings order to chaos, and scattered and discordant energies into cohesion and harmony. Fluorite supports spirituality and thought, focus and concentration, and balance in all aspects of one’s life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown as the “Genius Stone,” Fluorite represents the highest state of mental achievement, boosting aptitude and discernment, the absorption of new information, and helping one work through complex issues. Its energy stimulates the electrical charge of brain cells, drawing in more life force (prana) as it encourages both hemispheres to work harmoniously together in balance. Expanding the consciousness, it advances the mind to greater mental, spiritual and psychic awareness. It stirs creativity and provides a limitless range of avenues for exploration. Fluorite forms in many colour varieties, and while each manifests its abilities in different ways, all serve the mental body, brain and energetic levels of being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the creative juices flowing by meditating with the Fluorite crystal, a stone that gives order to chaos. Sit quietly with Fluorite and call on its gentle healing powers to help you coordinate your physical and mental abilities. As you inhale, imagine its white light of healing vibrations infusing your spirit with its energizing waves of clarity and rejuvenation. When you meditate with Fluorite, it reminds you to step away from the canvas to see the bigger picture. As you exhale, imagine your feelings of confusion and frustration evolving into a sense of peace that comes from its green shades, a colour that evokes the spirit of deep tropical seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorite cleanses and stabilises the aura.  It absorbs and neutralises negative energy and stress.  An excellent learning aid, Fluorite increases our powers of concentration, self-confidence and helps us in decision-making.  It encourages positivity, balances the energies, and improves balance and coordination, both physically and mentally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49616726655253,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/bd030811-il_fullxfull.6265310081_6w79.jpg?v=1765592659","url":"https:\/\/naturesgiftsbychris.com\/products\/428g-purple-chinese-fluorite-specimen-4","provider":"NaturesgiftsByChris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
