Beautiful, clear fluorite heart from China

A clear fluorite heart from China with a violet hue, transparent structure, and fine inclusions within the piece.

Fluorite (CaF₂) is a relatively soft crystal with a Mohs hardness of 4 and perfect cleavage in four directions. This property allows for very clean, highly polished surfaces with high optical clarity.

The entire surface has been cut and polished to a high gloss. When light hits it, the typical rainbow reflections become visible on the internal cleavage planes, an optical characteristic of the material.

In crystal healing, fluorite is associated with the third eye chakra and is considered a stone of clarity, concentration, and mental order.
