Description
This striking fluorite specimen reveals a dramatic and highly sought after transformation. In natural light, the piece presents a rugged, mineral-rich structure with earthy gray matrix, translucent to milky calcite, and scattered metallic pyrite. Subtle yellow and honey-toned fluorite add warmth and sparkle, giving the specimen a luminous, geological presence.
Under UV light, the fluorite reveals its hidden character—glowing in vivid yellow and pink tones that spread across crystal-rich areas and internal growth zones. One side displays a saturated electric-yellow response, while the reverse reveals deeper pink fluorescence, creating a dynamic two-sided display. Calcite softly reflects the UV glow, while pyrite remains dark and metallic, enhancing contrast and definition.
Dimensions & Weight
4.5” x 3.5” x 2”
665g
Collector’s Notes
Fluorite specimens that fluoresce in multiple colors are especially desirable, and this piece stands out for showing distinctly different UV behavior from front to back. The combination of fluorite, calcite, and pyrite—paired with strong fluorescence—makes this an excellent specimen for serious UV collectors, educational displays, or anyone drawn to minerals that reveal an entirely different beauty only under the right light.
Highlights
Fluorite with associated calcite and pyrite
Drastic difference from front to back
Strong, mineral-forward appearance in natural light
Strong blue and purple fluorescence under UV
Excellent contrast between glowing fluorite and dark matrix
High luster
Metaphysical Properties
Fluorite is often associated with clarity, focus, and energetic balance. Calcite is linked to amplification and cleansing, while pyrite is traditionally associated with grounding, confidence, and protection. Together, these minerals create a specimen valued for both its visual impact and symbolic depth.
Mineralogy
Primary Mineral: Fluorite
Associated Minerals: Calcite, Pyrite
Crystal System: Isometric (Fluorite)
Luster: Vitreous (fluorite & calcite), metallic (pyrite)
UV Reactivity: Yes — strong blue and purple fluorescence
