Green Purple Fluorite From Jianxi Province, China

Green Purple Fluorite From Jianxi Province, China is a mineral specimen (shop SKU GPFLC340) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Fluorite is calcium fluoride; the purple variety is one of the most familiar colors. It is relatively soft. In crystal traditions, fluorite is associated with focus and clarity. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed.
