Fascinating play of colours and light

The full potential of this fluorite unfolds when it is properly lit. Backlit, the fluorite shows a breathtaking transparency that reveals its fractal structure and the complexity of its interior. Particularly noteworthy are the rainbow-coloured light refractions that become visible inside the crystal when properly illuminated. These fascinating plays of light give the fluorite an additional dimension and make it a unique visual experience.

The combination of the bright blue colour and the colourful light reflections inside makes this fluorite immediately eye-catching and a stand-out piece in any collection.

Fluorite and muscovite – an extraordinary symbiosis

The sky-blue fluorite sits on a stable base of muscovite, a mica mineral known for its shimmering, foliated crystals. This combination of the radiant, translucent fluorite and the glittering muscovite creates a visually harmonious yet dynamic composition. Muscovite supports the presence of the fluorite without diminishing its luminosity, but rather highlights it.

The combination of these two minerals is a rare find and gives the collector's item a unique aesthetic. The natural balance between the base and the ‘elephant’ makes this piece a stable, yet fascinatingly fragile sight.
