Formed within high-temperature hydrothermal veins, these crystals are the result of fluorine-rich fluids cooling within the fractures of volcanic host rock. The deep, saturated violet and royal purple hues seen in this piece are caused by \"colour centres\" within the crystal lattice, where trace elements or natural radiation have altered the way the mineral absorbs light. This \"inky\" purple is the signature of Wuyi fluorite, making it a staple for any collector of Asian minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThis specimen offers a more translucent look at the mineral's internal structure, showing a beautiful gradient from lavender to a deep, midnight purple. This piece is particularly interesting for those who enjoy the \"architecture\" of minerals, as you can see the way the layers of calcium fluoride built up over millions of years. When held up to a strong light source, the stone reveals a hidden world of geometric planes and varying saturations. It is a fantastic example of the mineral-rich hydrothermal systems that have made the \"Fluorite Capital of China\" famous among geologists and gemstone enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"147\" data-start=\"136\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Shilonggang (石龙岗) mining area, Shuxi Subdistrict (熟溪街道), Wuyi (武义县) Wuyi Fluorite Field, Jinhua (金华市), Zhejiang (浙江省), China (中国) (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mindat.org\/loc-234562.html\" title=\"Shilonggang Mine, Wuyi fluorite ore field, Wuyi County, Jinhua, Zhejiang, China ~ Mindat\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mindat.org\/loc-297817.html\" title=\"Clee Hill Quarry, Shropshire, UK ~ Mindat\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for Mindat info)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"199\" data-start=\"196\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"213\" data-start=\"199\"\u003eMineral type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fluorite (CaF2)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"367\" data-start=\"358\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ~3(L) x 3(H) x 2(W) cm (see scale cube), 52 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frugeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52760051319121,"sku":"FRU-FLU-5","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/9749\/6145\/files\/FRU-FLU-5a.jpg?v=1767740804","url":"https:\/\/frugeo.science\/products\/fru-flu-5","provider":"Frugeo Geology Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
