Cubic Green Fluorite Mineral Specimen on Black Background. A captivating macro photograph of a raw green fluorite mineral specimen, composed of numerous interlocking cubic crystals, isolated against a solid black background. The crystals exhibit a classic cubic habit with sharp edges and smooth, glassy (vitreous) faces. The color ranges from a pale, translucent sea-green to a frosted, whitish-gray, revealing intriguing internal planes and phantoms within the geometric structures. The complex, intergrown cluster showcases the natural beauty and perfect order of crystal formation.Photographed at the Chongqing Natural Resources Science Popularization Museum, this specimen is an excellent example of Fluorite (Calcium Fluoride, CaF?). Industrially, fluorite (also known as fluorspar) is a crucial mineral used as a flux in steelmaking and in the production of certain glasses and enamels. It is also the primary source of fluorine. In the world of metaphysics, fluorite is highly prized as the "Genius Stone," believed to enhance mental clarity, focus, and order while absorbing negative energy. This image is perfect for geological textbooks, scientific articles, or for representing concepts of structure, clarity, and natural geometry.
