What is Fluorite?

Fluorite, also known as the "genius stone," is a remarkable mineral composed of calcium and fluorine atoms. What sets fluorite apart is its wide spectrum of vibrant colours, from deep purples and blues to greens and yellows, making it a favourite among collectors and crystal enthusiasts.

Formation and Octahedral Beauty

Fluorite crystals like this octahedron from Riemvasmaak are a product of nature's artistry. They form deep within the Earth's crust when hydrothermal fluids rich in minerals flow through existing rock formations. Over time, these fluids deposit fluorite molecules, allowing them to slowly crystallize into geometric masterpieces.

The octahedral shape, with eight identical triangular faces, is a testament to fluorite's unique crystalline structure. Its perfect symmetry and mesmerizing clarity make it a coveted addition to any mineral collection.
