Fluorite is a mineral with a veritable bouquet of brilliant colors. The range of common colors for fluorite starting from the hallmark color purple, then blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink, black and reddish orange is amazing and is only rivaled in color range by quartz. We believe Chinese fluorites to be one of the most underappreciated of mineral specimens on today's market. For a long time they have been readily available at dirt cheap prices. But that is quickly changing. Nowadays many collectors appreciate their multitudes of colors, forms and associations.
