Fujian Fluorite for Sale
Curated by Maggie Liu · 37 specimens available
Fujian Province in southeast China is best known among fluorite collectors for two things: saturated greens, and a surface texture that no other major locality matches — a fine druse of tiny quartz crystals grown over the fluorite, giving it a matte, frosted, almost sugar-dusted finish. Where Hunan fluorite is prized for glassy transparency, Fujian pieces trade that for texture: bubbly botryoidal mounds, cubic clusters wearing a quartz crust, and gem-green cores glowing through a frosted skin.
Judging a Fujian fluorite means reading that quartz coating. On the best pieces it is even and complete, catching light like frost across the whole crystal; partial or patchy coatings are more common and more affordable. Beyond the sugar-coat, weigh color (deep bottle-green and rare tanzanite-blue command a premium over pale material), the completeness of botryoidal formations, and edge condition on the cubic pieces. Blue and purple Fujian fluorite is scarcer than green and worth seeking out.
Every specimen below is the exact, one-of-a-kind piece you receive — hand-sourced in China by our curator Maggie Liu, individually inspected, and photographed under color-calibrated 5500K daylight. When a piece sells, it is gone.

Frequently asked
What is Fujian fluorite known for?
Green fluorite (from pale mint to deep bottle-green) and a signature quartz-frosted or "sugar-coated" surface — a druse of micro quartz crystals over the fluorite that gives it a matte, frosted finish. Blue and purple crystals and botryoidal "bubble" forms also occur.
What is sugar-coated fluorite?
A fluorite crystal overgrown by a thin layer of tiny quartz crystals, giving a frosted, textured "sugar" surface rather than a glassy one. It is a hallmark of Fujian Province material and forms naturally when a later quartz phase crystallises over the fluorite.
How does Fujian fluorite differ from Yaogangxian?
Yaogangxian (Hunan) is the source for gem-clear, glassy purple cubes; Fujian is known for green colour and the frosted, quartz-coated surface texture. Both are Chinese fluorite but their signature looks are opposite — transparency versus texture.
