Fujian Fluorite for Sale — 3
Curated by Maggie Liu · 146 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.

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.
