Description

Here we have a nice fluorite from Nigeria. The stone was found near Wukarie in the state of Taraba. The fluorite has great cube-shaped crystals that are very interestingly intertwined. The crystals have beautiful phantoms within them that reveal a beautiful play of colors when illuminated by the light. The fluorite has a beautiful dark blue color when illuminated by sunlight. Fluorite exhibits its color changing properties under artificial light and turns a dark green color. If the fluorite is illuminated with UV light, the stone shows a beautiful dark blue to violet shimmer
