Emerald Green Fluorite from Yiwu Co.
Dimension: 4.6cm x 4.4cm x 2cm
Weight: 43g
Locality: Yiwu Co., Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, China
This is a truly attractive and mesmerizing specimen which exhibits two generations of Fluorite! Striking vivid emerald-green, octahedral Fluorite cluster are topped by a layer of pastel purple Fluorite, which, in turn, appear to have stepped crystal growth, epitactic on the edges and corners of the underlying octahedral crystals. The emerald-green Fluorite crystals are gemmy and have excellent sheen. From a small find in 2016 near Yiwu county in Zhejiang province, China, the photos hardly do them justice. One must see the piece in person to fully appreciate the true beauty of the rich emerald color!
Fluorite's Maintenance Advice:
Fluorite is extremely susceptible to sunlight, some colours fade slower than others, but they all fade under sunlight. The effect also happens under normal halogen light. Therefore keep Fluorite in a darker part of the home, away from direct sunlight unless it needs to be cleansed and charged. To cleanse and charge Fluorite, just pop it on a windowsill out of direct sunlight or even on a cloudy day for 10 minutes. If it doesn't feel like that is enough, you can use reiki or sound too.
