Fluorite is one of the few minerals that naturally splits into an eight-sided octahedron, and this rainbow fluorite piece shows that geometry beautifully. Hold it up to the light and you will see bands of purple, green and clear inside.
It measures about 21 to 22 millimeters by 38 millimeters, a nice size for a desk, a crystal grid or a wire-wrapped pendant. We have thousands in stock, so if you prefer a particular color or size, leave a note at checkout and we will do our best to match it.
About Fluorite
Fluorite is calcium fluoride, the mineral that defines hardness 4 on the Mohs scale. It has four directions of perfect cleavage, which is why it naturally breaks into octahedrons. Many fluorite pieces glow blue-violet under UV light. Because it is soft and cleaves easily, keep it away from hard knocks.
Stone Meaning: Fluorite is traditionally associated with focus, order and clarity.
