FLUORITE AND ITS JEWELRY

In theory, fluorite is a mineral that should be sparingly used in jewelry design due to its low score on Mohs hardness scale. However, fluorite's spectacular color and translucency are very hard to resist, and many consumers actively seek jewelry designs made with its beads despite their frailty.

Fluorite comes in a wide array of colors, with purple and green being the most popular ones. In fact, a great majority of consumers will most likely only encounter jewelry designs that feature fluorite beads of those two colors. A fluorite specimen can have more than one color. For example, our Purple Dream necklace features fluorite ovals that have a number of different colors throughout their surface.

Fluorite is commonly found in nature. Some of the well known localities where fluorite is found include the American state of Colorado, China, Brazil, Germany, England, and many more.

Besides jewelry design, fluorite is extensively used in a number of industrial applications. For example, fluorite has an important role to play in the water purification process as it's the chief source of fluorine (water cleansing agent).

Caring for fluorite jewelry:

Fluorite is a very delicate mineral. It has a rating of 4 on Mohs hardness scale. This rating indicates that fluorite is easily prone to scratches.

One needs to exercise utmost caution when wearing a jewelry piece that contains fluorite beads. It's very easy to cause permanent damage to it by throwing or dropping it. Please read our guide to jewelry care or other relevant literature to learn more on how to care for jewelry.
