Description
This striking fluorite specimen possesses dramatic dual characteristics. In daylight, the piece presents a subdued, mineral-rich palette - yellow fluorite tones paired with blocky, translucent calcite crystals and scattered metallic pyrite. The textures are rugged and crystalline, with strong contrast between crystal faces and matrix.
Under UV, the transformation is immediate and subtle. The fluorite exhibits bright yellow, lighting up broad areas of the specimen and tracing crystal-rich zones with vivid clarity. The calcite subtly reflects the glow, while pyrite remains dark and grounding, amplifying the visual impact of the fluorescence rather than competing with it.
Dimensions & Weight
5.5” x 5” x 2.5”
1,363g
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
