This Polished Elemental Fluorite is a new find out of China which features vibrant color and striking patterns!! Carved into a Tower/Point. This Fluorite came from a mineral rich area that was rich in minerals including Malachite, Jasper, Hematite and Purple Fluorite! The area had a lot of seismic activity, then was compressed as it was covered by the ocean! So born of the Earth, compressed by the sea, and looks like gazing into the cosmos making this a truly incredible elemental specimen!!

Purple Fluorite is one of the most widely recognized and versatile color varieties within the Fluorite family. Its coloration ranges from pale lavender through rich violet and deep royal purple, sometimes occurring with zoning, banding, or combinations with clear, green, or blue Fluorite.
Purple Fluorite is sourced from several major Fluorite-producing regions, including China, Mexico, England, South Africa, and the United States. Many Purple Fluorite specimens on the market are cut and polished, as the color and translucency lend themselves particularly well to spheres, pyramids, octahedrons, and massage tools.
As part of the Fluorite family, Purple Fluorite carries the core properties of mental clarity and learning, while expressing a more healing-focused and meditative character.
Purple Fluorite is composed of calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and crystallizes in the isometric (cubic) crystal system. Its purple coloration is caused by trace impurities and structural defects within the crystal lattice, often influenced by natural radiation exposure during formation.
Like all Fluorite varieties, Purple Fluorite forms most commonly in hydrothermal vein systems, often alongside Quartz, Calcite, Barite, and metallic sulfides. Fluorite’s relatively low hardness allows for well-defined crystal faces and smooth polished forms, but also results in perfect cleavage along four directions.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Fluorite (Purple variety) |
| Chemical Formula | CaF₂ |
| Crystal System | Isometric (Cubic) |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 4 |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Transparent to translucent |
| Cleavage | Perfect in four directions |
Some Purple Fluorite specimens fluoresce under ultraviolet light, commonly emitting blue, violet, or white responses depending on composition.
⚠️ Handling:
Purple Fluorite is relatively soft and has perfect cleavage. Handle gently and avoid drops, knocks, or pressure.
🧼 Cleaning:
Do not soak. Avoid salt, acids, and ultrasonic cleaners. Clean gently 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 when possible.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store padded and separate from harder minerals. Polished forms should be stored where they cannot roll or fall.
