Fluorite Tumbled Stone - 15-25 mm
Product Description
Fluorite Tumbled Stones in this Grade B selection show the variety's characteristic colour zoning, with bands and patches of green and purple shifting across a glassy polished surface. The B grade means more natural inclusions and uneven colour from piece to piece, which gives the stones a layered, multi-toned look. At this smaller size they catch light well and are easy to keep close.
Fluorite is traditionally associated with clarity and orderly thinking, and is often chosen by people who want a sense of calm focus while studying, planning or working. It is commonly kept at a desk, held during quiet concentration, or carried day to day. The shifting colours also make it a pleasing piece to display in the light.
Because the colour banding forms naturally, every Fluorite stone shows a different blend of green and purple zones.

Geological Information
Fluorite is calcium fluoride, a halide mineral that crystallizes in the cubic system, and it is the defining mineral for Mohs hardness 4. Its colour is highly variable, from purple, green and blue to yellow and clear, with banding produced by trace impurities, rare earth elements and natural irradiation affecting electron defect centres during growth; the colour zoning reflects successive growth phases. The word fluorescence derives from fluorite, the first mineral observed to glow under ultraviolet light. Dyed fluorite exists, and artificially enhanced colour tends to be more uniformly saturated and to lack natural zoning, whereas this Grade B material shows the natural inclusions and uneven colour of untreated stone. Fluorite was used as a carving material in ancient Egypt, Rome and China, and English Blue John fluorite from Derbyshire has been mined for over 300 years. This material is sourced primarily from China, with further deposits in Mexico, South Africa, the USA, the UK, Germany and Argentina.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
Fluorite is soft at Mohs 4 and has perfect octahedral cleavage, so it can chip or split if knocked. Handle it gently and store it apart from harder stones.
