Emerald Green Fluorite Free Form Sculpture
Madagascar is not known for its fluorite. While the mineral has been documented scientifically across the island, the deposits are small and not very high quality. This incredible “Emerald Green Fluorite” comes from the largest known working mine. Even then only a few kilos out of several tons have this level of translucency and color, especially those large enough to make flame and free form sculptures. The massive form of fluorite tends to have prominent fibrous structures, color banding, and natural fractures.
Fluorite is used industrially as a flux, an additive that either helps metals melt easier or brings impurities to the surface to be purified. Most of its metaphysical properties derive from this use like bringing order to chaos, returning things to wholeness, and restoring a proper flow to the mental, emotional, or energetic bodies. The vibrant rich color of this“Emerald Green Fluorite” associates it specifically with cleansing and restoring the heart chakra, abundance, and well being.
This free form sits so well. It looks like a monk wrapped up in a robe, his head bowed in reflection. It has a consistent dark green color and a network of white threads like lightning throughout it. A lot of the other free forms are thin, following the original outline of the natural stone, but this one is more pillar shaped.
The free form sculpture weighs approximately 2.46 lbs. and measures approximately 5 1/4" X 2 1/2" X 2".
