A tall piece of natural raw fluorite with a clean cubic structure and a soft, glassy luster. The color moves from translucent to opaque, and the crystal faces catch the light differently through the day.
A quiet sculptural piece for a desk, bookshelf, or console.
Material: natural raw fluorite. Height about 18 cm. Weight 823 g.
Natural color and structure vary; each specimen is one of a kind.
Background
Fluorite takes its name from the Latin fluere, “to flow,” after its historic use as a flux in metalworking. Collectors value it for its color banding and cubic crystals.
Care: fluorite is relatively soft. Dust with a soft, dry cloth or brush; avoid chemicals and moisture. Avoid drops and knocks, and handle with care when moving or displaying.
