Fluorite with Pyrite & Calcite — Intense Blue UV Fluorescence

$200.00

Description

This striking fluorite specimen presents two distinct personalities, revealed through both natural and ultraviolet light. Under daylight, the piece displays golden translucent fluorite crystals nestled among granular calcite and scattered metallic pyrite, creating a rugged, mineralogically rich surface with excellent texture and depth. The natural coloration is bright and earthy, allowing the crystal structure and associations to take center stage.

When exposed to ultraviolet light, the specimen transforms dramatically. The fluorite fluoresces a vivid electric yellow, illuminating crystal faces and seams throughout the piece while sharply contrasting against the dark scattering of pyrite. This strong and otherworldly UV response adds an interactive, museum-worthy dimension, making the specimen equally compelling for both standard display and ultraviolet viewing.

Dimensions & Weight

  • 6.5” x 4” x 3.25”

  • 1894g

Collector’s Notes
Yellow fluorite with strong aesthetics is desirable on its own, but pieces that also perform under UV—especially with contrasting associated minerals—are increasingly sought after. This specimen stands out for its well-formed fluorite crystals, attractive pyrite association, and the way fluorescence adds an entirely new visual dimension. It’s an excellent example of a specimen that rewards both casual viewing and focused examination under different lighting.

Highlights

  • Golden yellow fluorite with sharp crystal form

  • Associated metallic pyrite and pale dolomite

  • Warm, richly textured appearance in natural light

  • High Luster

  • Strong cabinet and fluorescent-collection appeal

Metaphysical Properties
Yellow fluorite is often associated with clarity, confidence, and focused energy, particularly around decision-making and creativity. Pyrite is traditionally linked to grounding and abundance, while dolomite is associated with balance and emotional steadiness—making this a specimen valued for both its visual impact and symbolic resonance.

Mineralogy

  • Primary Mineral: Fluorite (yellow variety)

  • Associated Minerals: Pyrite, Dolomite

  • Crystal System: Isometric (Fluorite)

  • Luster: Vitreous (fluorite), metallic (pyrite), matte to pearly (dolomite)

  • UV Reactivity: Yes — fluorescent response under ultraviolet light
