AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Small yellow fluorite gem with splendid barite lamellae and chalcopyrite.
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 variety of colors, a characteristic that, in medieval times, earned it the name 'flower of stone.' This mineral is famous for the effect called after it. Some of its varieties, in fact, glow under UV light.
Barite is incredibly unique and can deceive you if you're not careful. Its sparkling surface makes it look like a lightweight mineral, but it is heavy! It is so heavy that it has a weight similar to metallic minerals, even though it does not have metallic properties.
