The Specimen: Geometric Perfection & Contrast Immerse yourself in the geometry of nature with this exquisite Star Green Fluorite with Epidote. This specimen is defined by its unique “Star” crystal habit—a complex and highly sought-after formation that sets it apart from standard cubic fluorites. The Fluorite glows with a soothing, translucent mint-green hue that catches the light beautifully, revealing internal phantoms and zoning characteristic of high-altitude alpine clefts.
Creating a dramatic visual anchor, the Fluorite is naturally combined with Epidote, whose deep forest-green to black prismatic crystals provide a striking contrast. The sharp, lustrous Epidote needles pierce through or rest upon the soft green Fluorite, creating a “Garden in Stone” aesthetic that is highly prized by aesthetic collectors.
