Description
A cluster of blue-violet fluorite crystals with a distinctly cubic form, growing from an irregular, light brown matrix. Their translucent edges allow light to pass through, contrasting with the rough, earthy surface of the base.
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.
