Fluorite Octahedrons

Fluorite Octahedron Specimens

Fluorite octahedron specimens - available in two different sizes.

These unusual pieces are octahedral shaped crystals of Fluorite. While natural, genuine pieces exist, they are quite rare.

Fluorite breaks into octahedrons quite simply along its lines of cleavage. It is common practice amongst miners to cut the stone into these shapes - simply because they are easier to sell than rough chunks.

If the pieces are on a matrix stone, you can guess they are genuine, or a very sophisticated fake. All of these pieces, however, are off matrix.

The pictures you see here are representative of the products and are usually not the exact item you will receive. Where various grades are available we do try to photograph each grade - but some photographs are still on their way!
