These very uniquely blue fluorites came out about 1-2 years
ago, but usually consisted of plates of somewhat smaller, densely packed
crystals. The find was long depleted and
specimens mostly dispersed into collections, but I did find this one-- I think the distinctness and size of the
crystal prevented it from getting sold in a lot of mediocre pieces. With that said, I ended up paying a bit of a
premium for it, but as with a number of pieces in this update, it was different
and beautiful enough that I wanted to be able to offer it on the website. China
is well known for its green fluorite, and to a lesser extent its purples, but
blue has never been a particularly common color from its various mines.
