AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unique specimen with a perfectly developed internal ghost, incredible color contrast, and flawless edges.
Fluorite is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, and throughout history, it has been used by many peoples and cultures to create artistic objects. Its impurities give it a wide range of colors, a characteristic that, in medieval times, earned it the name 'flower of stone.' This mineral is famous for the effect called fluorescence, after which it is named. Some of its varieties, in fact, glow under UV light.
