Green Fluorite with Druzy Quartz – Translucent – China
Size: 2.2 × 1 × 1.7
Weight: 65g ≈ 2.29 oz
This is a visually striking raw mineral specimen featuring translucent green fluorite crystals encrusted with a fine layer of druzy quartz, forming a natural sugary coating. The specimen originates from Fujian Province, China, a locality known for producing elegant and highly aesthetic fluorite combinations.
The fluorite beneath exhibits a pale to medium green tone with semi-transparent to translucent clarity. The surface is richly coated in microcrystalline quartz, often referred to as “sugar quartz,” due to its granular texture and sparkling appearance under direct light. This secondary quartz growth preserves and emphasizes the underlying fluorite geometry while adding a unique visual layer of sparkle and texture.
Such druzy-covered fluorite combinations are relatively uncommon and highly valued in the collector market, especially when the quartz overlay is complete and evenly distributed. The specimen displays excellent surface integrity and aesthetic balance.
Locality: Fujian Province, China
Mineral association: Green fluorite with druzy quartz
Notable features:
• Fine druzy quartz coating over fluorite crystal faces
• Natural green fluorite with good translucency
• Excellent luster, surface definition, and symmetry
• Distinct Chinese locality piece with strong visual appeal

About this specimen
This exceptional Rare Green Fluorite Mineral with Druzy Quartz Coating is a stunning natural specimen sourced from Exquisite Fujian Specimen. This specimen features well-developed crystal form displaying excellent natural formation that makes it a standout addition to any mineral collection.
Fluorite (CaF₂) crystallizes in the cubic (isometric) crystal system with a Mohs hardness of 4. This mineral is known for exceptional fluorescence under ultraviolet light, perfect octahedral cleavage, and a wide range of colors including purple, green, blue, yellow, and colorless. Specimens from Exquisite Fujian Specimen are particularly valued among collectors for their quality and character.
This specimen weighs 2.29 oz (64.9 g) and measures approximately 2.2 × 1 × 1.7 inches, representing a rare example. Each specimen is carefully hand-selected to ensure excellent crystal development, natural aesthetics, and display-worthy presentation. Photographs represent the actual specimen you will receive.
Whether you are a seasoned mineral collector, a geology enthusiast, or searching for a distinctive natural display piece, this Fluorite specimen offers exceptional quality and visual appeal. It makes an impressive addition to a specimen cabinet, educational display, or curated mineral collection — Fluorite is prized by collectors for its vivid color zoning and phantom growth patterns, and industrially important as a flux in steelmaking and in the production of hydrofluoric acid.
