This specimen is Blue Fluorite!! Carved and Polished into an Egg. Truly INCREDIBLE color!! It is best viewed with a Flashlight, without a light shinning through it does appear extremely dark and gives the appearance of black, when its actually incredibly deep rich blues. Such a beautiful specimen.

Blue Fluorite is a color variety of Fluorite prized for its calming tones and orderly internal structure. Its blue coloration ranges from pale sky blue through teal-blue and blue-green hues, often appearing zoned or layered within cubic or octahedral crystal forms.
Blue Fluorite is found in several notable Fluorite-producing regions, including China, Mexico, England, South Africa, and the United States. The exact shade and saturation of blue depends on trace elements, radiation exposure, and structural conditions during formation.
As part of the Fluorite family, Blue Fluorite shares the same foundational properties as its parent stone while expressing its own distinct energetic and practical applications.
Blue Fluorite is composed of calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and crystallizes in the isometric (cubic) crystal system. Its blue coloration is caused by trace impurities and defects within the crystal lattice, often influenced by natural radiation exposure during formation.
Like all Fluorite, Blue Fluorite commonly forms in hydrothermal veins, frequently associated with Quartz, Calcite, Barite, and metallic sulfides. Its relatively low hardness allows for exceptionally sharp crystal edges but also makes it more susceptible to cleavage and breakage.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Fluorite (Blue variety) |
| Chemical Formula | CaF₂ |
| Crystal System | Isometric (Cubic) |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 4 |

Some Blue Fluorite specimens display fluorescence under ultraviolet light, typically emitting soft blue, violet, or white responses depending on composition.
⚠️ Handling:
Blue Fluorite is relatively soft and cleaves easily. Handle gently and avoid impacts or pressure.
🧼 Cleaning:
Do not soak. Avoid salt, acids, or ultrasonic cleaners. Clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth only.
☀️ Light:
Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight may fade color in some specimens. Display out of direct sun.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store padded and separated from harder minerals. Use stable display supports.
