Fluorite Specimen

Description

Our lovely fluorite specimen features clear fluorite with a small spot of blue fluorite. It is a unique piece that is great gift for fluorite enthusiasts. What’s even better about fluorite is that most pieces are UV reactive.

Size: Approx. 1.5″, 27.85g

With this fluorite specimen, we have a fun décor idea—crystal grids. You may have heard of them before, but outside of the realm of décor. We encourage you get creative with your gemstones. Crystal grids are a great way to do that and raw pieces are great for the centerpiece. You can make impressive displays filled with color and wonder. Try it out and let us know what you think!

A Note About the UV Reactivity of Fluorite

Fluorite is known for its fluorescence, but not all colors of fluorite exhibit this property. Generally, blue or blue-green fluorite tends to fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light, emitting a blue or violet glow. Some purple or pink fluorite specimens may also fluoresce, typically emitting a pink or red glow. On the other hand, yellow, green, or clear fluorite colors are less likely to fluoresce or may not fluoresce at all. The presence of certain trace elements or impurities in the fluorite crystal structure can influence its fluorescence properties, leading to variations in fluorescence among different colors of fluorite.

 This fluorite specimen is a WYSIWYG.

For those who are unfamiliar with WYSIWYG, it means: What You See Is What You Get. Pieces identified as WYSIWYGs are not a random pull of stones that are similar to the one(s) pictured. Instead, you receive the actual piece that is pictured.

Please Note:

1. Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
2. The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences.
3. Please use your own judgment when allowing children to handle.
4. Not suggested for use in animal habitats or fish tanks.
5. UV Notes: For gemstones, 365nm is the best for UV lighting. Only some specimens illuminate under the other part of this spectrum (370-400nm). This is why some pictures are not as clear for our UV reactive pieces. Our current lights are at 395nm. For home use, the 395nm is less expensive, but in some cases, will need a zoomed beam on the flashlight style UV lights. If you do use a 365nm light, please take care to use eye protection.
