Description
Deep violet-blue fluorite forming a compact cluster of clearly defined cubic crystals. Partially translucent areas reveal subtle variations in colour, while small pale mineral growths create a natural contrast against the darker fluorite.
Lore
In ancient China, fluorite was used to create ornaments placed in tombs and ceremonial jewellery. These objects recall ancient beliefs in which death did not entirely sever the bond between the living and the dead. This historical context lends the mineral symbolic associations with remembrance of ancestors, passage between worlds and a connection to the spiritual realm.
