Small specimens can hold a lot of interest, and this green fluorite with epidote is a good case.
Green fluorite forms the body of this piece, and epidote grows across it, so you get the clean color of fluorite and the darker contrast of epidote in something that fits in the palm. It suits a thumbnail or miniature collection, a shadow box, or a desk where you want a bit of color without taking up room. Under a UV flashlight many fluorites glow blue violet, which adds a second way to enjoy it. It is a thoughtful pick for a fluorite collector who wants a companion mineral on the same piece.
About Fluorite with Epidote
