This specimen features classic Lantern Fluorite: pale icy translucency, soft internal glow and clean geometric structure across a natural matrix. The Calcite forms in crisp flower-like florettes with sharply defined faces and layered growth typical of Fujian Calcite associations. Under UV light, the calcite florettes show a vivid pink fluorescence due to trace manganese within the calcite. Lantern Fluorite develops when fluorite crystallises with micro‑inclusions and zoning that create a diffused internal glow, giving the material its distinctive appearance. The combination of Lantern Fluorite and Calcite Flowers produces a sculptural, dimensional texture unique to this locality. Lantern Fluorite is believed to support clarity, gentle illumination and steady forward movement. You will receive the exact piece shown. When you purchase our Lantern Fluorite with Calcite Flowers specimen we will include a free holder.

Lantern Fluorite with Calcite Flowers — Fujian, China
LANTERN FLUORITE - FUJIAN
Lantern Fluorite is a distinctive fluorite variety from Fujian Province, known for its pale icy translucency and soft internal glow created by micro‑inclusions and gentle zoning within the crystal. This diffused light effect gives the material its “lantern” name, referencing the way traditional sky lanterns appear when illuminated at dusk. Fujian Lantern Fluorite often forms in clean geometric masses with smooth faces and subtle colour gradients ranging from grey‑green to pale blue. When associated with calcite, the contrast between fluorite glow and calcite texture creates a sculptural, dimensional presentation unique to this locality. Lantern Fluorite is believed to support clarity, gentle illumination and steady forward movement.CALCITE
Calcite is a variety of calcium carbonate mineral with a pearly/chalky white to grey appearance with vitreous luster. Calcite has numerous habits, representing combinations of over 1000 crystallographic forms! Calcite is thought to support abundance, self healing, insight and spiritual ascension, attunement and purification.
