Zhejiang Purple Window Fluorite 71 G Transparent Glassy Complex Isometric Form

Description: Zhejiang Purple Window Fluorite 71 Gram Lustrous Transparent Glassy Complex Isometric Formed Crystal Mineral Specimen #328 Location: Zhejiang, China Weight: approx. 71.95 Grams Measures: 1.82'' (46.25mm) x 1.71'' (43.54mm) x 1.13'' (28.29mm) A superb High Grade Purple Window Fluorite specimen from Zhenjiang China. This is an exquisite Fluorite specimen, exhibiting various inter-grown complex combination isometric habits including cubic, Hexahedral and Rhombic-Dodecahedral. The QR Code like landscape of this Plate of glassy transparent Fluorite aggregates is truly amazing to say the least! Interestingly, all the color is zoned as phantom inclusions, but the majority being colorless like glass. There is very minor damage to the face of the cube display, only the break points from the matrix and a couple very small edge spots that are barely noticeable due to all the "bling"! Otherwise, it's so pristine, I nicknamed it "Perfect Purple"! ► ► ►The Ebony crystal stand pictured is sold separately and is only used for display purposes. Note: Be aware that being able to view fluorescent minerals requires an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. A black light is not a UV light and in most cases fluorescent minerals will not fluoresce with a black light. ► ► ►Actual colors may vary due to computer monitors displaying colors differently as well as a Digital camera's ability to capture real world colors, then reproduce the colors rendered from a total of 16,777,216 possible color tones. We try extremely hard to ensure our photos are as life-like as possible, but please understand the actual color may vary slightly from your monitor and from person to person. What makes minerals fluorescent? Ultraviolet light is a form of electromagnetic energy. Fluorescence occurs when electrons in certain atoms of a crystallized mineral absorb the energy from a UV light (Photons). The incoming photons bump the electrons into higher energy states, and they respond to the ultraviolet light. The remaining light energy is out of balance and remitted and can be seen as a visible color. The reason for the fluorescent remitted colors is due to impurities in the mineral, or activators; which become part of the mineral’s chemistry by taking the place of atoms in the host mineral. A majority of activators are atoms of certain metal elements that cause the resulting fluorescence in a mineral, Manganese being the most common activator. The level of fluorescence depends on the percentage of the impurities in relationship to the host atoms. Too much/little, results in low or no fluorescent response.
