£ 96.00
FLUORITE NECKLACE – BRITISH HAND MADE IN DEVON (19 INCH LENGTH)This genuine Fluorite Necklace has been British hand made in Devon and measures
approximately 19 inches in length, offering a versatile mid-length style that sits comfortably along the collarbone. Carefully selected for colour vibrancy, clarity and polished finish, the photograph provided shows the actual necklace you will receive. Full sizing please see photo for precise bead dimensions and overall scale. Each piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming the authenticity of the natural fluorite used.With its characteristic blend of greens, purples and subtle internal zoning, this 19 inch fluorite necklace showcases the natural beauty and geological character of this highly recognisable mineral species. MINERAL IDENTIFICATION – FLUORITE (CALCIUM FLUORIDE CAF₂)Fluorite is a calcium fluoride mineral with the chemical formula CaF₂ and crystallises in the isometric, or cubic, crystal system. In its natural state, fluorite commonly forms well-defined cubic or octahedral crystals, often within hydrothermal veins and cavity deposits.One of fluorite’s most valued characteristics is its wide colour range. It occurs in green, purple, blue, yellow and colourless varieties, frequently displaying banding or colour zoning within a single specimen. These variations result from trace elements and subtle changes in growth conditions during crystallisation.Fluorite has a Mohs hardness of 4, making it softer than quartz but suitable for necklace use when handled with care. It exhibits a vitreous lustre and may range from translucent to transparent depending on quality and thickness. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION AND LOCALITY CONTEXTFluorite most commonly forms in hydrothermal vein systems, where mineral-rich fluids move through fractures in host rock. As temperatures decrease, calcium and fluoride ions combine and crystallise within open spaces, often alongside quartz, calcite, galena and sphalerite.It is also found in sedimentary environments, particularly associated with limestone formations. Notable fluorite deposits occur in China, Mexico, Spain, South Africa and the United Kingdom, including historically significant mining regions such as Derbyshire and County Durham.The beads used in this necklace have been shaped and polished from natural fluorite rough, preserving the mineral’s inherent colour transitions and internal structures formed over geological time. OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND VISUAL APPEALFluorite is admired for its layered colours and depth. Individual beads may display soft transitions between green and purple, sometimes within the same bead. This natural zoning creates visual movement and complexity, enhanced by the smooth polished finish.Fluorite is also known for its fluorescence under ultraviolet light, a property that gave rise to the term “fluorescence,” although this effect is only visible under UV conditions.The polished surface highlights the stone’s translucency and vitreous lustre, allowing light to gently interact with the internal colour bands. JEWELLERY CRAFTSMANSHIP – HANDMADE IN DEVONThis 19 inch necklace has been hand made in Devon with attention to bead arrangement, colour balance and comfortable wear. The mid-length design offers versatility, suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone statement piece.Each bead has been selected to ensure cohesive colour flow while retaining the natural variations that make fluorite distinctive. The craftsmanship reflects secure stringing and careful finishing, ensuring durability and an elegant presentation. COLLECTING AND TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONSFluorite is highly regarded among mineral collectors for its crystal forms, colour zoning and geological significance. In jewellery form, it allows the wearer to appreciate these natural features in a refined and wearable design.In spiritual traditions, fluorite is traditionally associated with clarity and focus in a symbolic, non-medical context. Many people choose fluorite jewellery for its vibrant colour palette and cultural associations alongside its mineral authenticity. AUTHENTICITY AND PRESENTATIONThis Fluorite Necklace is a genuine crystal jewellery piece, British hand made in Devon. The photograph shows the actual necklace you will receive. Full sizing please refer to the photo for accurate scale and bead size.Each necklace includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, providing assurance of the natural origin of the fluorite used.A colourful and geologically distinctive gemstone necklace, this 19 inch fluorite piece combines mineral authenticity with skilled British craftsmanship, making it a refined addition to any jewellery collection or a thoughtful gift choice.
