Colors that feel like dusk settling over a hidden forest. A fragment of the earth’s calm intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT WE KNOW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFluorite (calcium fluoride, CaF₂) grows in cubic and octahedral crystal habits in hydrothermal vein deposits. Its color is produced by trace impurities and lattice defects during crystal growth — violet from nitrogen or other trace elements, green from various impurities including rare earth elements. Multi-color fluorite specimens, where violet and green occur in the same crystal or cluster, are among the most visually interesting expressions of the material. Each face of a fluorite crystal reflects light at a slightly different angle, producing the shifting color effect as the viewing angle changes. This specimen weighs 29g. Locality not independently verified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE STORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFluorite is the mineral that gave fluorescence its name — many specimens glow under ultraviolet light, a property first described in fluorite and named after it. The multi-color banding in this specimen reflects changes in the mineralizing fluid chemistry during crystal growth — the violet and green zones represent different periods of deposition, each with slightly different trace element content. A single specimen that holds two color registers is a geological record of change written in crystal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe violet and green color combination on this piece is well-balanced — neither color overwhelms the other, and the multi-face geometry means the specimen reads differently from each angle. At 29g it’s a compact but visually rich desk or shelf piece. A strong complement to the larger banded fluorite specimens in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eType: Fluorite crystal specimen (multi-color)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 29g\u003cbr\u003eLocality: Not independently verified\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Natural specimen — please review photographs for color, crystal faces, and natural variation.\u003cbr\u003eQuantity: 1 — one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Found in the Field","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080783118521,"sku":"MUL8F3","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9438\/4825\/files\/IMG-0502.jpg?v=1782216943","url":"https:\/\/foundinthefield.store\/products\/ethereal-fluorite-crystal-specimen-whisper-of-stillness","provider":"Found in the Field","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
