Depending on the origin, transparency, color saturation, and crystal structure vary considerably. Pieces with clear transparency, intense coloration, and characteristic fluorescence under UV light are particularly prized – a phenomenon that even gave the mineral its name, derived from the term "fluorine". More background information on fluorite as a mineral can also be found on Wikipedia.

In crystal healing, fluorite is traditionally considered a stone of clarity and concentration. According to spiritual tradition, it is said to help organize the mind and promote inner balance.

Tips for Buying: What to Look For

When buying fluorite, it's worth paying attention to a few quality features to ensure you receive a genuine natural piece and not a treated or dyed specimen. Our experts at Crystal Paradise carefully inspect each piece before it is included in our assortment:

• Check authenticity: Genuine fluorite is cold, heavier than glass, and shows natural inclusions or color gradients
• Test fluorescence: Many genuine fluorites glow blue or green under UV light
• Inquire about origin: Reputable dealers like Crystal Paradise state the location of origin and quality grade
• Choose form & purpose: Specimens and spheres are suitable for decoration, while pendants and freeforms are good for wearing

Which fluorite color is the rarest?

Clear, colorless fluorite is mineralogically rare and particularly sought after by collectors. Deep purple or pure blue pieces without color mixing are also among the more desirable varieties.
