These specimens are premier examples of Fluorite (Calcium Fluoride, CaF₂) sourced from the renowned Zhejiang Province. Crystallizing in the cubic system, their deep purple coloration is the result of natural irradiation during the crystal's growth. These spheres exhibit striking color zoning and internal "phantom" layers, marking different pulses of hydrothermal mineral concentration within the host vein during formation.
Aesthetic Appeal
Each sphere has been masterfully polished to a mirror-like finish to accentuate the depth of the "inner world" within the stone. Ranging from saturated, near-opaque indigo to translucent "phantom" chevrons and smoky violet bands, these pieces offer a glass-like luster that interacts beautifully with light. The visual complexity varies from "nebula" internal veils to sharp, linear growth boundaries.
Metaphysical Properties
Known as the "Stone of Discernment" and the "Stone of the Mind," Purple Fluorite is deeply associated with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras. It is highly regarded for its ability to organize chaotic thoughts, provide a protective energetic shield, and enhance mental clarity. These specimens are ideal tools for deepening meditative practice or bringing focused energy to a creative or professional workspace.
Rarity & Collectibility
Zhejiang Fluorite is highly sought after by collectors for its intense "grape" saturation and distinct phantom zoning. Specimens reaching the 64mm–69mm range (approximately 2.5"–2.7") are considered significant collector pieces due to the volume of high-clarity material required to cut a sphere of this mass.
Collector’s & Display Notes
Condition: All-natural material, precision-polished. In alignment with our commitment to transparency, these pieces are all-natural with no stabilization or repairs. Minor natural internal cleavage planes or tiny surface-reaching inclusions may be present, which are characteristic of untreated, high-grade fluorite.
