Fluorite is one of the most colorful minerals and is known for its wide variety of crystal forms and colors. Cubic crystals are especially common, although octahedral and other crystal habits also occur. Its color range includes colorless, yellow, green, blue and violet varieties as well as multicolored crystals.
In this category, you will find fluorite specimens from a range of classic and less commonly represented localities. The selection includes individual crystals, crystal groups, specimens on matrix and pieces associated with other minerals.
Each specimen is documented with the most precise locality information possible, together with dimensions, weight and original photographs. Depending on the specimen, particular attention is given to crystal habit, color, transparency, zoning, matrix or associated minerals.
Fluorite is of particular interest both mineralogically and to collectors because its color and crystal habit can vary considerably depending on locality and formation conditions. The specimens offered here illustrate a range of crystal forms from different localities around the world.
