This hand selected, polished Fluorite Slab is beautiful and colorful!  It is polished on both sides with raw edges and is self standing. 

Fluorite comes in many colors. Deep purple (it's most famous), sky blue, sea green, sunny yellow, and crystal clear. There are rarer colors of pink, reddish orange (rose) and even black. Fluorite is very attractive and in demand. It is easy to see why fluorite earns the reputation as "The Most Colorful Mineral in the World".

Because Fluorite comes in such a wide range of colours, it is often said that it contains something of all other gemstones in it.  According to folklore, it is the home of rainbows.

Fluorite is said to increase concentration and foster mental balance.  Nicknamed the "genius stone" fluorite is believed to be excellent for study and work areas.  It helps the mind stay focused on the task at hand.

This is a beautiful polished free form of Malachite from the Democratic Republic of Congo.  Malachite is perhaps the one of the most popular minerals for collectors due to its intense green color and sometimes beautiful, banded masses.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a superb Pink Halite crystal mass. This great specimen is in very good condition and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Pink Halite is a type of Halite that had its color tainted from bacteria of various algae species. Halite is known as the natural form of salt and is a very common mineral found near oceans and salt lakes.  Kłodawa lies on the Rgilewka (a tributary of the Warta River). The Kłodawa Salt Mine, the largest operating salt mine of white and uniquely pink salt in Poland, extracts halite and salts of potassium and magnesium. Deposits date back over 200 million years. The Klodawa salt bed is the largest in Poland – 26km long and 4km wide. The total length of the underground tunnels in the mine is about 350km.

Salt has been mined here for more than half a century by traditional mining methods which allow the natural qualities of the salt to be preserved.

This entire specimen is covered with many quartz, sphalerite and pyrite crystals.

The deposit known as Dalnegorsk is mined by several different mines. The vast majority of the minerals from Dalnegorsk in collections have no reference to the individual mines. The mines are the Brenner mine (with the Svetlana adit and Olga adit), Nikolaevsky mine, Zentralnye mine, Verkhnii mine, East Partizan, 1st Sovietsky mine and 2nd Sovietsky Mine. There are probably more mines. The name "Tjetjuche" means "valley of the wild pigs" and is the old Chinese name for Dalnegorsk. On older mineral labels this name can be seen.

This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
