Description
A refined and visually striking specimen featuring a delicate layer of pale lavender amethyst druzy cascading across a pastel colored surface of green fluorite, all set on a natural limestone matrix from the renowned Nancy Hanks Mine.
The amethyst forms a fine, glittering crystalline blanket with subtle tonal variation—from silvery lilac to faint violet—contrasting beautifully against the underlying fluorite. Along the edges and exposed sections, the fluorite reveals its signature soft green coloration, adding depth and dimension to the composition.
Under UV light, the fluorite base comes alive with a vivid blue fluorescence, transforming the piece into an entirely different visual experience. This interplay between soft daylight elegance and bold UV response gives the specimen a dynamic, dual-character appeal.
Dimensions & Weight
6” x 2.5” x 1.5”
630 grams
Metaphysical Properties
Amethyst is often associated with clarity, balance, and a calming presence, while fluorite is linked to focus and mental organization. Together, they are said to support both intuitive awareness and grounded thinking—making this combination a favorite among those who appreciate both beauty and intention.
Collector’s Notes
The Nancy Hanks Mine is particularly known for this pairing, where amethyst forms as a later-stage deposition over earlier fluorite growth within a limestone host. The fluorite’s fluorescence—typically bright blue under UV—is caused by trace impurities and structural defects within the crystal lattice.
The combination of druzy quartz over fluorite reflects a multi-stage mineralization process typical of hydrothermal systems in carbonate environments.
The elongated, sculptural form enhances its display presence, making it an ideal cabinet piece with both aesthetic and locality significance.
Highlights
Classic Nancy Hanks Mine association piece (amethyst on fluorite)
Fine, evenly distributed amethyst druzy coverage
Distinct green fluorite visible along edges and beneath
Strong UV fluorescence (blue) from fluorite
Elongated, display-friendly form with natural structure
Increasingly collectible locality with limited material entering the market
Mineralogy
This specimen features quartz (amethyst variety) crystallized as a fine druzy layer over fluorite (CaF₂), a calcium fluoride mineral known for its wide range of colors and strong fluorescence.
