Purple Fluorite

Fluorite is renowned for its vibrant array of colors and crystalline beauty, often found in clear, purple, green, blue, yellow, pink, and many more shades. It's typically transparent or translucent, with a glossy sheen that captures light beautifully. While it's softer on the hardness scale, scoring between 4 and 5, its luminous quality makes it a favorite for jewelry and decorative items. At the heart of fluorite's allure is its composition of calcium fluoride (CaF₂). The diverse colors are due to minute impurities within the mineral. Those specimens that exhibit intense fluorescence are particularly treasured, often finding pride of place in collectors' cabinets and among gem enthusiasts' prized possessions
