Beautiful fluorite sphere from China

A clear fluorite sphere from China in a strong violet color with natural inclusions. Depending on the incidence of light, the color impression changes between clear lilac and deeper violet.

Fluorite is a halide mineral with the formula CaF₂. The coloring is caused by embedded trace elements and can vary in layers within the same stone. The sphere shows these natural color zones.

On an illuminated base, the piece develops particularly impressive light refractions, creating reflections on walls and ceilings. China is one of the world's most important fluorite deposits, especially in Hunan province.
