These are the semi-precious Fluorite smooth, faceted, carved and shaped beads or components we currently have in stock.
The Fluorite items we carry tend to be shades of purple, pale green, and almost clear stone. It is very common to see horizontal bands of color in this gemstone, as shown by the picture. Fluorite can also be found in a range of other colors, including yellow and gold tones and even blue tones. This is a very soft stone and is prone to scratching and fracturing. It often is not as highly polished as other gemstones.
Our round Fluorite tends to be shades of purple, pale green, and almost clear. Good quality - but some shipments may be lighter in color than any of us would like.
4x4mm Cube beads are made from multi-color Fluorite. Current stock has lots of purple tones, some clear or yellowish beads, but very few green beads, as shown.
This material has been selected for its green banded color. The beads with the strongest colored bands are in the center of the strand, then the color gets more pale towards the ends of the strand.
