Description
A tall formation of deep violet fluorite with well-defined cubic faces and stepped crystal growth. Pale, finely crystalline overgrowths extend along one side, contrasting with the darker, lustrous surfaces of the 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.
