Fluorite

This specimen is a visually striking example of fluorite from Sicily. The cluster showcases a soft blue coloration overlaying a darker phantom undergrowth. Sicilian fluorites are renowned for their striking blue hues, and this specimen is no exception. The piece features an aesthetically pleasing formation with one prominent cube intersecting a few smaller ones, forming a visually dynamic arrangement. What's particularly noteworthy about this specimen is its vibrant, deep blue fluorescence under long-wave UV light, which highlights the unique colour variations within the crystal.

While there is some contacting on the back and lower sections, it does not detract from the overall appeal of the piece. This uncommon fluorite with its unusual colour variation is a fine addition to any collection, especially for those interested in the distinctive mineralogy of European fluorite.
