Purple Fluorite
-
RM1,620A big, single crystal from the Jalingo Mine with juicy grape purple colour and thick green zonings- an unexpected yet unique contrast. Completely glassy with remarkable clarity, especially for its size! Light passes through easily, brightening up the entire fluorite when held near a light source.
Locality: Jalingo Mine, Nigeria
Measures: Approx. 8.8 x 5.6cm -
RM370A classic Ojuela Mine specimen— Clear, mostly colourless tabular crystal with saturated purple edges and zonings, and a hint of blue phantom. The crystal’s surface shows beautiful etched markings. Fluoresce bright red under UV.
Locality: Ojuela Mine, MapimÃ, Mexico
Measures: Approx. 1.6 x 1.4cm -
RM1,148Despite most Llamas Quarry finds being on the smaller side, usually with just one or two fluorite crystals, this specimen is generously and fully covered with the characteristic bevelled edged, tabular crystals Llamas Quarry is known for. Despite its quantity, the quality holds fast— most of the crystals are clear, glassy and lustrous, some with beautiful zonings. Some of the crystals even grow together to form a shape resembling a heart. Under different lighting, the specimen appears to be soft plum pink to violet purple colours.
Locality: Llamas Quarry, Duyos, Spain
Measures: Approx. 5.9 x 3.5cm -

Measures: Approx. 6.7 x 5cm -
RM1,070A cute Auglaize Fluorite featuring a deep purple cube at the centre of a mini cave-like formation, with distinct purple zoning within the crystal. The crystals surrounding the cube are shiny and iridescent, catching the light beautifully and contrasting nicely with the purple focal crystal.

Measures: Approx. 4 x 3.2cm -

Appearing as a dark blue fluorite crystal at first glance, with some backlight, it really comes alive- displaying wondrous multicoloured zonings of blue, maroon, yellow and purple. Not many, if any, other fluorite from other localities have displayed such a wide colour spectrum as this.
Locality: Le Grand Altier, Lozère, France 🇫🇷
Measures: Approx. 1.6 x 1.1cm -
One of the juiciest and craziest Berbes Fluorite we’ve seen! The distinctive, sharp magenta purple and blue zonings are phenomenal- especially since blue zonings are not commonly seen in fluorites from Berbes. Acquiring a sizeable Berbes with minimal damage is no easy feat, let alone one with such amazing zonings and saturated colours.
Locality: Berbes Mine, Asturias, Spain
Measures: Approx. 12.5 x 6 x 7cm -

A fun little fluorite with incredibly deep purple colour that appears pitch black when viewed as is. But, when backlit, the edges of this Victory Mine fluorite glows vibrantly with vivid purple and bright magenta hues! Curiously, the centre of this specimen remains dark and impenetrable even by the brightest of light.
A well-formed, complete fluorite specimen with little to no damage (remarkable condition for this 20-years old find!).
Locality: Victory Mine, Illinois, USA
Measures: Approx. 2.4 x 2.2cm -
