Care and Notes for Your Purple Fluorite

• Clean only with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
• Do not use acidic cleaning agents – fluorite reacts to sulfuric acid
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as it can affect the color over time
• Store separately from harder minerals to prevent scratches

Frequently Asked Questions

What is purple fluorite and where does the color come from?

Purple fluorite is a color variant of the mineral fluorite (calcium fluoride), also called fluorspar. The purple coloring arises from natural trace impurities in the mineral as well as from the effects of natural radiation during crystal formation. Pure fluorite is colorless; only through these influences does it take on shades ranging from delicate lavender to deep blackish purple.
