Description
A cluster of deep violet fluorite crystals with well-defined cubic faces and stepped growth patterns, set on an irregular matrix. Small pale crystals emerging between the darker formations create a subtle contrast in colour and texture.
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.
