Product Details

“Tanzanite” fluorite from China is a popular collector name for fluorite specimens — mainly from the Xiayang/Yongchun area in Fujian Province — that display rich blue‑purple hues reminiscent of the gem tanzanite (though the rock contains no actual tanzanite). The crystals are usually well‑formed, sharp cubes or modified fluorite shapes with gemmy transparency and a color that can shift from purple to blue‑purple depending on lighting conditions (indoor vs sunlight). Often found on quartz matrix or with calcite, these fluorites are prized for their intense color, aesthetic zoning, and clarity, making them standout pieces in Chinese fluorite varieties and sought after by collectors due to their distinctive appearance and limited production.
