At
Duarte & Bastos, clients will find the new Grape Color Change Fluorite from
own mine in several shapes and sizes, both calibrated
and free size. It changes color when reacting to the light. In daylight,
its original color is Grape, but under the light of an incandescent lamp it
becames red.
Fluorite is well known and prized for its glassy luster
and rich variety
of colors. It is a mineral with a veritable bouquet of brilliant colors like:
purple, blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink, black, reddish orange and
more. The most popular color for Fluorite is a deep purple which can rival Amethyst
in its finest examples. Some of the most eye-catching examples are multi-color
Fluorites with distinctive bands and zoning.
The word "fluorescent" comes from the mineral
Fluorite which commonly fluoresces blue and has been known to glow yellow,green,
red, white or purple. Some Fluorites display different colors under longwave
UV light and shortwave UV light, and some will even demonstrate phosphorescence
in a third color!
All of these factors contribute to making Fluorite
the second most popular mineral among collectors after quartz, and why fluorite
earns the reputation as "The Most Colorful Mineral in the World".
Gem quality specimens achieve high prices favored by mineral collectors .
