Florite

Some beautiful blue-green-purple florite nuggets have been sourced, some of them with inclusions. They are polished into cube shapes, chunky circles and flat round pieces.

Citrine Pendant

This beautifully faceted citrine was cut and polished by Gordon McLean Lardy at Starstone Lapidary Workshop in Wales. It is set in sterling silver, with an oval arc behind letting in light.
I leave a wide opening for a chain because it gives you the freedom to alternate chains according to mood or preference.

Florite

Florite is by far one of the most unique stones if only for the fact that its comes in a variety
of transparent colors. Some include purple, green, blue, red and yellow-brown.
It’s geological setting is in hydrothermal veins, and it has a cubic structure. One of the unique characteristics of florite is florescence (the word florescence actually comes from florite). Under longwave UV light one can see new colors come from this stone, up to four different variations. They will also show different coloring when heated, or thermoluminescence.
Florites often contain phantoms, or minute mists that look like another crystal inside the stone.

I had the pleasure of seeing florite under longwave UV light this year and it was awesome.
