Fluorite (color change)

Item Description

Fluorites are known from thousands of localities around the world, but recently there was a new find of some beautiful color change material in Afghanistan. The stones exhibit a beautiful Brandeis blue color in incandescent lighting, and changes to an green-blue color in direct sunlight. Now the color in sunlight is truly the optimal color for the material, and these gems remind me of certain blue Fluorites from Hardin County, Illinois that perform the same kind of color change. This "Oval" cut stone is a fantastic example of this color change material, and I have photographed it both under sunlight and incandescent lighting conditions to show the change in color. The stone is very slightly included, but it is still very good quailty for this material. This is the only piece I have to offer of these attractive gems, so do not miss out on this one.
